I just noticed you said jars, not petri dishes. If so, just use a synthetic filter disk, polyfil or tyvek and use the regualar mason lid. It's very common however with agar work to have dozens of dishes going simultaneously, so that many jars are not only expensive, but use a lot of space. RR

Paper? Are you referring to regular making tape? If so there is absolutely no gas exchange through masking tape.

yea regular ol masking tape.. like for painting. i figured since it was made out of paper it was porous and would allow gas exchange... but you're probably right. never had any problems though.
