Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) is a versatile medium used for cultivating fungi, yeasts, and molds. It can be modified with acid or antibiotics to prevent bacterial growth and is commonly used for plate count methods in food, dairy, and cosmetic testing. PDA is suitable for growing clinically important yeast and molds. The nutrient-rich potato infusion in PDA promotes mold sporulation and pigment production in certain dermatophytes.
