摘要：

Four new media, namely Wheat straw extract agar, Bajra straw extract agar, Jowar straw extract agar and Paddy straw extract agar, were evaluated for their potential to stimulate the growth and sporulation of Madurella mycetomatis in comparison with the conventional Sabouraud dextrose agar and Soil extract agar. Vegetative growth of M. mycetomatis on the four types of Straw extract agars was superior to that obtained on Sabouraud dextrose agar. Isolates of M. mycetomatis sporulated better and faster on the Straw extract agars than on the Sabouraud dextrose agar and Soil extract agar. Straw extract agar is recommended as a sporulation medium for M. mycetomatis. It may prove useful especially for studies of the conidium ontogeny of the fungus for elucidating its taxonomic status.
