Directions

Suspend 33.28 grams in 1000 ml distilled water containing 2.35 grams of glycerol. Heat if necessary, to dissolve the medium completely. Mix well and dispense in tubes or flasks as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.

Principle And Interpretation

Wort Broth is formulated as described by Parfitt (1) for the cultivation of fungi especially yeasts in syrups and butter. Wort Broth is especially designed to propagate the multiplication of yeasts and often it has been employed as a semi-selective or enrichment medium. Yeast grows well in culture media containing dextrin or maltose in acidic environment.

In this medium peptic digest of animal tissue and malt extract provide nitrogenous and other nutrients for the growth of yeasts. Dextrin and maltose are fermentable carbohydrates. The high acidic pH inhibits many bacteria. Phosphate buffers the medium.
