Best type of agar...
    #5433668 - 03/23/06 10:00 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Hey all! I recently found an old print I made, and I'd like to get a culture growing to see if it remained contam free (I'm not getting my hopes up since it wasn't sealed in a baggie.. just some aluminum that had the edges folded over).

I'm curious though, which type of agar is the best? I know there's nutrient, glucose, and lactose, but searching through I haven't found much to work with. I'm not planning to make my own, since I have keys to the bio lab and I can just grab a little when I'm at work - i just need to know which to grab.

I hate to do a shameless bump, but I'm about to head to work so I was hoping to get an answer before I left, so I can grab the agar tonight :smile:

Any ideas?

I prefer MEA and PDYA.

I switch back and forth between them.

I usually just make PDA because it's the easiest. I always have potatoes. Agar prices seem to have gone up though. I'm glad I bought a buttload when it was cheaper.
