Actinomycete agar contains sodium caseinate and asparagine serves as a nitrogen and amino acid source.
Sodium propionate is a substrate for anaerobic fermentation. Dipotassium phosphate provides the buffering system.
Magnesium sulfate and ferrous sulfate provide sources of sulfates and metallic ions required for enzyme activity and another metabolic processes. The addition of glycerol serves as an additional carbon source.
Use:
Recommended for isolation and propagation of Actinomycetes from soil and water.
