Petrifilm® Yeast and Mold Count Plates

The Neogen® Petrifilm® Yeast and Mold Count Plate is a sample-ready culture medium system which contains nutrients supplemented with antibiotics, a cold-water-soluble gelling agent, and an indicator that facilitates yeast and mold enumeration. The Petrifilm Yeast and Mold Count Plates are used for the enumeration of yeast and mold in the food, beverage, and bottled water industries. The Petrifilm Yeast and Mold Count Plate provides results between 3 to 5 days. Yeasts are easily differentiated from molds on the plate:

• Yeasts are typically indicated by small, blue green colonies with defined edges and no foci.
• Molds are indicated by large, variably colored colonies with diffuse edges and center foci.
