Will NOT work without nutrients added. Read directions before leaving bad reviews. This agar is perfect for my application, marine algal growth. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it is worth the price *by M***Y on November 10, 2019* it worked great ### ⭐ Basic agar, not "nutrient"?! *by Z***R on December 27, 2017* This media DOES NOT WORK for growing "non-fastidious microorganisms." The attached image shows two pairs of plates inoculated with two strains of Serratia marcescens, a bacterium that grows robustly on nutrient agar. On the left, I show nutrient agar purchased from VWR. On the right, the nutrient agar sold by Innovating Science here on Amazon. Note the absence of bacterial growth on the right! (I used a sharpie to mark the site of the original inoculation). This test confirmed suspicions I had when I received the bottle: Note that it is simply labeled as "Agar" (you can see this if you magnify the picture) despite being entitled "Nutrient Agar Powder" in the Amazon listing. The bottle also lists its ingredients as only a carbohydrate. (True nutrient agar is amended with peptone and beef or yeast extract.) However, there is one sticker on the side of the bottle that says "Nutrient Agar," as though the company tried to re-brand. Bottom line: Do NOT order this product expecting to be able to culture microorganisms! You will be disappointed! ## Frequently Bought Together - ALDON Innovating Science Laboratory-Grade Agar Powder, 100g - The Curated Chemical Collection - 30 Pack Plastic Petri Dishes with Lids,90 x 15mm Bioresearch Sterile Petri Dish,Culture Dishes for School Science Projects,Seeding,Storage,Biological Themed Party - Surgical Grade Blades #11 20pcs Sterile with #3 Scalpel Knife Handle for Biology Lab Anatomy, Practicing Cutting, Medical Student, Sculpting, Repairing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/44780959-laboratory-grade-agar-powder-100g-the-curated-chemical-collection](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/44780959-laboratory-grade-agar-powder-100g-the-curated-chemical-collection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
