Potato Dextrose Broth is recommended for the isolation and enumeration of yeasts and moulds. It is recommended by APHA and F.D.A. for plate counts of yeasts and moulds in the examination of foods and dairy products. Potato Dextrose Broth is also used for stimulating sporulation, for maintaining stock cultures of certain dermatophytes and for differentiation of typical varieties of dermatophytes on the basis of pigment production. Potato infusion and dextrose in the medium, promote luxuriant fungal growth. Adjusting the pH of the medium by tartaric acid to 3.5, inhibits the bacterial growth. Heating the medium after acidification should be avoided
