Description
Nutrient Agar is a basic culture medium used to subculture organisms for maintenance purposes or to check the purity of subcultures from isolation plates prior to biochemical or serological tests.
In semi-solid form, agar slopes or agar butts, the medium is used to maintain control organisms1.
Nutrient Agar is suitable for teaching and demonstration purposes. It contains a concentration of 1.5% agar to permit the addition of up to 10% blood or other biological fluid, as required. The medium, without additions, may be used for the cultivation of organisms which are not exacting in their nutritional requirements.
For a medium which is richer in nutrients, see Blood Agar Base No.2 CM0271.
