Water Agar for Switchgrass

In preparation for growing out my pathogens for the switchgrass research project, today I made water agar. I didn't have my lab notebook from the UT research project this summer, so I just Googled water agar recipes to find out how much powder to put in the water. I made 400 mL of agar, so I put 8 g of agar into the 400 mL of distilled water. I labeled the plates with a purple stripe and will use black ink to mark the nutrient agar plates in the future.

I re-sterilized the nutrient agar I had left from yesterday's lab and poured up about another 20 plates for future use.
