Principle and Interpretation

This medium is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones with vegetable peptones. Glucose Yeast HiVeg Peptone Agar is modification of Glucose Yeast Peptone Agar formulated as described by Subba Rao (1) for isolating yeasts from soil specimens. This is a highly nutritious medium which may be used not only for isolating yeasts but also some fastidious microorganisms. HiVeg peptone and yeast extract provide nitrogenous nutrients especially the amino acids and peptides. Yeast extract also supplies Vitamin B. Dextrose added in the medium is a readily available source of energy and a good carbohydrate source for yeasts.
