Agar Bacteriological is specifically produced for use in bacteriological culture media and plant tissue culture media, where clarity
and compatibility are not of prime importance. It is used in culture media in following concentrations : For Routine Media:
1.4 to 1.6% ,For Soft Media: 0.5% ,For Semi-solid Media: 0.15%, For Media with Reduced Oxygen Tension: 0.05 -0.1% ,For Extra Hard Gels, for inhibiting swarming of Proteus species: 2.5% - 3.0%.
