Agar gel is what we have a tendency to place in petri dishes (those spherical little dishes with a lid on top) to grow microbic populations in. It contains all of the mandatory nutrients for a being to grow on. Sometimes, biologists can take away one in every of the nutrients or replace it with another one, to ascertain however well the being can deal with the shortage or presence of these nutrients.
