Bi.G.G.Y. Agar (Nickerson Medium)

Details

This medium is only a part of the identification process of organisms. Other tests may be required. Bismuth ammonium citrate and sodium sulphite together act as selective agents for Candida species suppressing bacterial growth, at the same time indicating substrate reduction to yield bismuth sulphite which helps to presumptively identify Candida species.
