Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out to find out and study the effect of different culture media on the growth rate, colony character and sporulation of four different fungi grown on five different culture media viz., Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA), Czapek’sDox Agar, Nutrient Agar (NA), and Corn Meal Agar at room temperature. The growth of fungi was greatly influenced by the type of media used. The fungi showed different growth rate, colony characteristics with different media. Amongst five different media used PDA exhibited excellent growth followed by Corn Meal Agar and SDA while slow and poor growth rate was observed on CZ and NA.
