Olympus Myco Malt Yeast Extract Agar Plates with Activated Charcoal (MYA) for Mushroom Cultivation and Science Fair Projects (10 Sterile Prepoured Petri Dishes)

• PRE-POURED AGAR PLATES: The sterile plates are pre-poured malt yeast extract agar (MYA) with activated charcoal. Malt yeast extract agar plates are excellent for mushroom cultivation due to being a nutrient-rich medium that allows the cultivation of a wide spectrum of bacteria, yeasts, and molds.
• MUSHROOM MEDIA: These agar plates are made with a blend of ingredients to provide a nutritionally rich medium for your fungi and promote robust fungal growth. Yeast extract's proteins are broken down into simpler compounds for mycelium digestion.
• ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: Black agar is a favored choice among mycologists for its ability to facilitate the observation of mycelial growth. Its dark color provides excellent contrast to the white mycelium, making it especially useful for genetic sectoring.
• READY TO USE: Our pre-poured malt yeast extract agar plates with activated charcoal are sterilized and ready to use. We always recommend using a flowhood or a still air box when working with opened plates.
• 100% GUARANTEE: We stand behind our products and guarantee that the agar plates you receive will be completely sterile and free of contamination. If in the off chance that you receive a contaminated plate we will immediately replace it. If you have any issues at all you may always contact us. We're here to help!

Description Our malt yeast extract agar plates with activated charcoal are an essential tool for mycologists looking to study the growth and behavior of fungi. The unique blend of malt, yeast extract, and activated charcoal creates a nutrient-rich medium that supports the growth of a wide range of fungal species. The unique blend of malt and yeast extract is particularly beneficial for mushroom growth. Malt extract contains essential vitamins and minerals, including B-complex vitamins, iron, and zinc, which are important for healthy fungal growth. Meanwhile, yeast extract provides a rich source of amino acids and peptides, which are critical for protein synthesis and cell growth. In addition to the nutritional benefits of the malt and yeast extract, our agar plates plates also contain activated charcoal. This helps to eliminate contaminants and promote pure, healthy cultures. Activated charcoal provides excellent contrast for observing the growth and development of fungal samples, making it especially useful for genetic sectoring and other applications where clear visualization is key. The dark color from the activated charcoal provides excellent contrast to the white mycelium. Overall, our malt yeast extract agar plates with activated charcoal are a must-have for any mycology lab. They provide a reliable and effective way to cultivate and study fungi, making them an essential tool for mycologists of all levels.
