S2Media™ prepared Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) is a general-purpose liquid medium for the cultivation and enrichment of yeasts and molds. The potato infusion provides nutrients that support fungal growth, while dextrose serves as a readily available carbohydrate source. The naturally acidic pH helps inhibit the growth of many bacteria, favoring the recovery and cultivation of fungi. Potato Dextrose Broth is equivalent in nutrient composition to Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), with agar omitted to provide a liquid medium suitable for fungal propagation, enrichment, and laboratory culture applications. This medium is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.
