Making Nutrient Agar Slants


The nutrient agar slants I made last time didn't set well, so I'm doing it a little differently this morning. Here's the recipe I found:

23 g. nutrient agar per 1000 mL
BOIL and STIR until thoroughly dissolved.
Aliquot 5-7 mL per screw-cap test tube.
Sterilize
Set out to cool on a slant.

Hopefully this will work better.

  1. This recipe was MUCH better than before. In fact, these are just right. Be sure to do make slants this way from here on in.
