On serum albumin agar (bovine albumin) with initial pH-values of 5.0-6.0, Trichophyton rubrum showed a yellow pigmentation, and on the same medium with an initial pH-value of 7.0, a red pigmentation. Strains of Trichophyton mentagrophytes have never shown pigmentation until now, The scarce growth (submerged) of T. rubrum on serum albumin agar is associated with a pigment formation that may be used for diagnostic purposes. It could be read within 3-7 days. Serum albumin agar with the initial pH-value of 5.0 was introduced in 1964 for the detection of the strain-specific proteolytic activity of Candida albicans.
在初始pH值为5.0 - 6.0的血清白蛋白琼脂(牛白蛋白)上,红色毛癣菌呈现黄色色素沉着;而在初始pH值为7.0的相同培养基上,则呈现红色色素沉着。直到现在,须癣毛癣菌菌株从未出现过色素沉着。红色毛癣菌在血清白蛋白琼脂上稀少的生长(深层)与一种可用于诊断目的的色素形成有关。3 - 7天内即可观察到。初始pH值为5.0的血清白蛋白琼脂于1964年被引入用于检测白色念珠菌的菌株特异性蛋白水解活性。
