Nutrient Agar: composition, preparation and uses 4.58/5 (19) Nutrient agar is used as a general purpose medium for the growth of a wide variety of non-fastidious microorganisms. It consists of peptone, beef extract and agar. This relatively simple formulation provides the nutrients necessary for the replication of a large number of non-fastidious microorganisms.
The key is to transfer cultures several times in advance to ensure that they are growing well and are presented as young, fully-active cultures on the day of the practical class. To transfer cultures, scrape a small amount of bacteria or yeast cells off the agar slope of a culture using a sterile loop. Wipe the loop over a fresh agar slope to seed a new culture directly or, preferably, shake the loop in a small volume of sterile nutrient broth.
