MacConkey and EMB agar


Next week's lab on Differential and Selective Media calls for MacConkey and EMB agar. I made 800 mL of both this morning.


MacConkey--40 g powder in 800 mL of distilled water


EMB agar--28.8 g powder in 800 mL of distilled water


Both required heating and stirring until dissolved.

I only had 100 g of each of these powders, so if I have two sections of Micro in the fall, I will need to order a bottle of each.
