With Compact Dry YMR yeasts and mould can be differentiated by colour development. The medium contains the chromogenic enzyme substrate X-Phos which turns blue with many yeasts. Moulds form fluffy colonies with a characteristic colour. Antibiotics inhibit the growth of bacteria. The Compact Dry YM allows a very good 3-dimension growth of yeast and mould. Compact Dry YM is AOAC submitted

2. Specimen diffuses automatically and evenly into the sheet and transforms the dried sheet into a gel within seconds.
3. Put the cap again on the plate and write the information needed on the memorandum section.
4. Turn over the capped plate and put in the incubator.
5. After incubation count the number of colored colonies underneath the plate. White paper placed under the plate helps to count the colonies.
