Which of them is better for providing SDAY and isolation of entomopathogenic fungi: SDA 2% or SDA 4%?

08 April 2019 1 5K Report

I am going to isolate and taxonomic investigation of entomopathogenic fungi. As I know there are two kind of Sabouraud Dexterose Agar (SDA 2% and SDA 4%) for cultural charactrization of the fungi. My question is that Which of them is better for providing SDAY and isolation of entomopathogenic fungi?

Ankita Das

SDA 4% would be better because isolation of entomopathogenic fungi needs approximately 14 days to grow to an optimum level. Hence 4% SDA is best for this type of fungi.
