Agar Agar Bacteriological Grade
Agar Agar is widely used as a solidifying agent for preparation of culture media.An agar plate or Petri dish is used to provide a growth medium using a mix of agar and other nutrients in which micro organisms,including bacteria and fungi, can be cultured and observed under them icroscope. Since it is indigestible for many organisms, that microbial growth does not affect the gel used and it remains stable.Agar is often dispensed using a sterile media dispenser.

It is used as a culture media for practically all pathogenic and non pathogenic bacteria and fungi because it is not easy to metabolise and has good gel firmness, elasticity, clarity and stability.
Plant Tissue Culture
