Nutrient Agar with TTC allows convenient enumeration of aerobic bacteria. Convenient total viable count as well as yeasts, moulds and fungi in a single test. Rose Bengal is a growth medium for yeasts, moulds and fungi. The Rose Bengal dye limits growth to allow easier enumeration.
STERILE MIXED NUTRIENT AGAR (220ml): Enough to pour 10-11 petri dishes! It is a fun change of pace to pour your own agar plates like a real scientist. Learn about the importance of sterile laboratory technique. Our sterile solid nutrient agar can easily be melted and used to pour a thick agar layer in each plate for superior bacteria growth.
NUTRIENT AGAR IS THE BEST MEDIA FOR BACTERIAL/FUNGAL GROWTH: Nutrient agar is the number #1 recommended agar for science fair projects and for school science experiments. It grows a huge variety of microorganisms and is safe to use!
PRE-POURED AGAR PLATES: The sterile plates are pre-poured sorghum yeast extract agar. Sorghum yeast extract agar plates are excellent for fungal cultures due to being a nutrient-rich medium that comes from a common grain (millet) used for mushroom cultivation.
MUSHROOM MEDIA: These sorghum yeast agar plates are made with a blend of ingredients to provide a nutritionally rich medium for your fungi and helps establish a healthy environment for fungal cultures. Yeast extract's proteins are broken down into simpler compounds for mycelium digestion.
