Mineral Salts Iron Agar)
Composition per liter:
Agar............................................................................................20.0g
(NH 4 ) 2 NO 3 ....................................................................................3.0g
KH 2 PO 4 .........................................................................................2.5g
K 2 HPO 4 .........................................................................................2.0g
MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O................................................................................0.2g
FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O..................................................................................0.1g
pH 5.6 ± 0.2 at 25°C
Preparation of Medium:  Add components to distilled/deionized
water and bring volume to 1.0L. Mix thoroughly. Gently heat and bring
to boiling. Distribute into tubes or flasks. Autoclave for 15 min at 15
psi pressure–121°C.
Use: For testing the resistance of textiles to fungi that cause mildew
and rot. Also used to test the effectiveness of fungicides used on tex-
tiles for preventing the growth of fungi. Cultures of Chaetomium glo-
bosum or Aspergillus niger are inoculated onto the plate and a sample
of fabric is placed on top. Lack of growth of these fungi on the textile
is indicative of resistance to mildew.
