Actinomycete Isolation Agar

Use: Actinomycete Isolation Agar is used with added glycerol for isolating and cultivating actinomycetes from soil and water. Glycerol is used in preparing microbiological culture media.

Description: Actinomycetes can cause massive growths which will form a thick foam in the activated sludge process, causing a disruption in wastewater treatment. Actinomycetes are gram-positive, acid-fast cells, growing as filaments that may branch and may form irregularly shaped rods and cocci.
