Description
Non-nutrient agar powder is typically used in classrooms for microbiology experiments, such as studying slime molds, observing fungal growth, or culturing environmental samples. Since it lacks nutrients, it does not support the growth of most bacteria or fungi on its own, making it ideal for experiments where a nutrient source is added selectively to encourage the growth of specific organisms. It's often used to highlight the effects of environmental factors on microbial growth, demonstrate the role of external nutrient sources, or as a base for investigating other biological processes.
