    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Environmental Science

    Background:

    • Prototheca species are ubiquitous algae capable of causing infections.
    • Selective isolation methods are crucial for studying Prototheca in environmental samples.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel culture medium for the selective isolation of Prototheca species.

    Main Methods:

    • A new growth medium was formulated.
    • The medium's efficacy was tested for selective isolation of Prototheca from various natural sources.

    Main Results:

    • The devised medium demonstrated selective growth of Prototheca species.
    • Effective isolation of Prototheca from environmental samples was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The new medium facilitates the selective isolation of Prototheca species from nature.
    • This tool is valuable for ecological and clinical studies of Prototheca.
