Preparation Note

Suspend 35.2 g of AC Agar in 1000 ml of distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Distribute in tubes or bottles to give the desired depth. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs. pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. If medium is not used on the same day, it is advisable to drive off dissolved gases by boiling or steaming in the autoclave. Cool without agitation.
