Selective Antibacterial Agent
Oxytetra Selective Supplement is employed as an antibacterial agent to selectively inhibit the growth of accompanying bacterial flora during microbiological culture. This allows for the preferential isolation of other microorganisms.
Microbiological Culturing
Utilised in conjunction with specific agar media, such as OGY-Agar, this supplement facilitates the culturing of yeasts and moulds by preventing bacterial overgrowth. It is valuable for diagnostic and research microbiology.
Fermentation Process Monitoring
Can be used in monitoring fermentation processes where the selective inhibition of bacterial contaminants is crucial for the successful growth of desirable microbial strains like yeasts.
