the bac agar has no nutrients, you'll need to add them. There's recipe's in the FAQ. The other is a pre-mix, which contains nutes. You use it at the suggested mixture.

This is all in the FAQ. I'm surprised you didn't get it yelled at you.

A couple of things I would suggest when using agar, if you are going to use a 40 ounce container, use only half of the container's capacity. If you fill it to the top, and PC it it will boil over. So prepare only about 500mL or 20 ounces. That is more than enough. Pressure cook the media for as little time as possible 20-25 mins works for me. If you are going to add antibiotics or peroxide after you PC, do it when the agar has cooled down. Pour into plates when the agar is very cooled down. This way there is less condensation. If you do not have petri dishes, use jars. Keep in mind that agar dries out. I like to keep a plate that I do nothing with and store it in the incubater with the other dishes. This is a negative control. If i get contams in my dishes AND the neg control I need to pressure cook longer or pour faster and improve sterile technique. Here are some pics of my own strain isolated on peroxidated MEA. i used the plate seperated into 4 sections so that i don't have to use a whole butt load of plates.
