To determine how much agar is needed for 300 ml of medium, we can use a proportion based on the agar quantity provided for 1 liter. 6.4 g agar is used in 1 liter, which means for 300 ml, we can calculate: (6.4 g / 1000 ml) * 300 ml = 1.92 g of agar. Therefore, 1.92 g of agar is needed for 300 ml of the medium.
