Chunky agar
    #26618195 - 04/21/20 04:15 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hey guys so I made agar for the second time ever. I did MEA at 10g agar 10g MEA and 500ml of water. During the cool down it started to gel up, so there are little peaks/ chunks towards the end. My question is, will the agar still function as it should with a flat surface? Or will the chunks stunt/affect growth?

The chunks will make it harder to see any contaminants. They can also sometimes make myc switch the type of growth. But it's perfectly viable for multiplying cultures.

Use it and you'll see. You got nothing to lose.

Will do I didn’t have any prints so I had to start with a syringe a few of the plates got more than a drop 😂 I guess this is why you buy a 500 pack of Petris especially when you’re starting.

It happened to me also the first time and the only problem I saw with them was a higher condensation rate.

Ya I see that I’d say mine were about 70% with condensation. My water bath didn’t cover the whole bottle up to the agar so the bottom cooled quickly.
