Its nutrient-rich formula, based on peptone and malt extract, supports robust yeast growth, especially osmophilic strains found in sweet and soft drink products. The medium forms a yellow opalescent gel and allows pH adjustments for selective cultivation, making it a trusted choice for professional labs seeking accuracy and reliability. ## Description "Wort Agar is used for the cultivation, isolation and enumeration of yeast and moulds. According to Rapp, addition of certain dyes to Wort Agar allows differentiation between yeast and bacterial colonies. It is particularly well adapted for counting osmophillic yeast in butter, sugar and syrups, in lemonades and more generally in sweet or soft drinks. Wort Agar is a medium equivalent to the medium described by Parfitt and equally suitable for the cultivation and enumeration of yeasts. Parfitt investigated the relative merits of Wort Agar and other media for the count of yeasts and moulds in butter, and recommended the use of dehydrated whey, malt or wort for the purpose. Scarr employed a modified Wort Agar (Osmophilic Agar) for the examination of sugar products for presence of osmophilic yeasts. For more selective utilization, it is possible to adjust the pH to 4.5 or 3.5 by adding 10 ml/l of a 10% solution of lactic acid or tartaric acid before sterilization." ## Features - WORT AGAR - For cultivation and enumeration of yeasts. - The medium consists of peptone and malt extract which provide nitrogenous and other nutrients for the growth of yeasts. - Appearance of Powder : Light yellow to brownish yellow homogeneous free flowing powder. - Appearance of prepared medium : Yellow coloured Opalescent gel forms with flocculant precipitate in Petri plates. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B7DL3H72 | | Best Sellers Rank | #275,372 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #93 in Life Science Agar Media & Plates | | Brand | TM MEDIA | | Brand Name | TM MEDIA | | Country of Origin | India | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Type Name | TM 490 | | Item Weight | 100 Grams | | Manufacturer | Titan Biotech Limited | | Model Number | TM 490_100gm | | Number of Items | 1 | | Packer Contact Information | "Titan Biotech Limited, A-902A, RIICO INDUSTRIAL AREA PHASE-III, BHIWADI BHIWADI, 301019, RAJASTHAN, Contact: 9315911272" | | Part Number | TM 490 | | Specific Uses For Product | Laboratory uses only | | Unit Count | 100.0 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TM MEDIA - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 100 Grams - **Manufacturer:** Titan Biotech Limited - **Number of Items:** 1 ## Images ![TM MEDIA (Titan Biotech) WORT AGAR (100 gm) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EWUTjwxGL.jpg) ![TM MEDIA (Titan Biotech) WORT AGAR (100 gm) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-KW+iwu0L.jpg) ![TM MEDIA (Titan Biotech) WORT AGAR (100 gm) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71p9Lfm+8VL.jpg) ![TM MEDIA (Titan Biotech) WORT AGAR (100 gm) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+YUNYwD8L.jpg) ![TM MEDIA (Titan Biotech) WORT AGAR (100 gm) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719c5JZm3AL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/677169113-tm-media-titan-biotech-wort-agar-100-gm](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/677169113-tm-media-titan-biotech-wort-agar-100-gm) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
