Sweet potato sucrose agar - an inexpensive culture medium for fungal growth [Philippines]

Seven test fungi exhibited better mycelial growth and higher sporulation in SPSA (sweet potato sucrose agar) than in PDA (potato dextrose agar). The fungi tested were Stemphylium lycopersici (Enjoji) yam, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. Pythium debaryanum Hesse, Rhizopus nigricans Ehr. Aspergil...

Zusammenfassung:Seven test fungi exhibited better mycelial growth and higher sporulation in SPSA (sweet potato sucrose agar) than in PDA (potato dextrose agar). The fungi tested were Stemphylium lycopersici (Enjoji) yam, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. Pythium debaryanum Hesse, Rhizopus nigricans Ehr. Aspergillus flavus Lk. ex Fries, Volvariella volvaceae (Bill. ex Fr.) Sing. and Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon. SPA not only supported good fungal growth, its ingredients are inexpensive and are readily available locally.
