General description

HAYFLICK Agar is supplemented with horse serum to provide useable cholesterol and fatty acids. Deoxyribonucleic acid provides purine and pyrimidine bases, which cannot be synthesized by the mycoplasmas. Phenol red changes the color of the medium to yellow or purple, indicating the growth of mycoplasmas. Penicillin inhibits the growth of accompanying bacterial flora.
