Stachybotrys Selective Medium
Introducing the NEW Stachybotrys Selective Agar for use in the selective isolation of Stachybotrys from environmental samples. Stachybotrys is the fungal organism that is known for causing problems in moist areas of homes and buildings. It has been known to grow well on damp wallboard and produces toxins that cause respiratory problems and a host of other symptoms.
This new media manufactured by Hardy Diagnostics consists of a Potato Dextrose Agar base medium with proprietary selective agents. The selective agents inhibit bacteria and most other types of fungi that grow on environmental surfaces. This is needed, since Stachybotrys is usually crowded out on a non-selective medium.
Potato Dextrose was tested and found to be the best base media for Stachybotrys (better than Cellulose Agar).
