Tryptone Glucose Extract Agar is also known as Yeast Dextrose Agar.

Developed as a medium for detecting bacteria in milk and other dairy products, glucose agar containing tryptone was used to study thermophilic bacteria in milk. This medium is known as Yeast Dextrose Agar. In 1948, the American Public Health Association (APHA) adopted Tryptone Glucose Extract Agar for use in testing milk and dairy products. Currently, APHA specifies Tryptone Glucose Extract Agar for the heterotrophic plate count procedure in testing bottled water.
