Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sabouraud's agar is a specialized culture medium that is widely used for cultivation of fungi. It has a low pH and high dextrose concentration that favors fungal growth while inhibiting bacterial growth. The other options, such as MacConkey agar, are designed for the isolation of bacteria and would be unsuitable for cultivating fungi. Tomato juice agar is used for growing acidophilic bacteria, while Phenylethanol agar is used for the isolation of gram-positive organisms. Mueller tellurite is used for the cultivation of diphtheria bacilli.
