Kimmig Fungi Agar Base is used for cultivation, isolation and identification of fungi. This medium is prepared as described by Kimmig and Rieth. Fungi identification is usually carried out by examining the hyphae or spores formed by fungi on the medium plates. This medium promotes the development of growth forms, which are used as important characteristic criteria in identification.
