A subtype of nutrient agar, this is the general medium for microbiology studies and may be used for routine cultivation of not particularly fastidious microorganisms. Also, does not preferentially grow one kind of bacteria over another. # Add the following to 800ml H2O #* 10g Bacto-tryptone #* 5g yeast extract #* 10g NaCl

# Adjust pH to 7.5 with NaOH # Add 15g agar # Melt agar into solution in the microwave # Adjust volume to 1L with dH2O # Sterilize by autoclaving
