What is MYPA?

MYPA (Malt Yeast Peptone Agar) includes bacteriological peptone, a protein-rich ingredient derived from plant tissue that provides essential nitrogen and amino acids to support aggressive mycelial growth. This nutrient-dense formula is ideal for clean culture work, cloning, spore germination, and strain isolation.
