hi.. i'm new here.. i wanted to ask a question regarding nutrient agar and bacterial growth.. we are going to conduct a research regarding nutrient agar.. our problem is that the nutrient agar components here have high prices.. so we were wondering if it is ok to use only agar/colorless,flavorless gelatin with beef extract,salt and sugar instead of the original nutrient agar..? would it still yield the same effect as with nutrient agar..?
also, i was hoping if a speciaList couLd answer my question.. our research teacher is reaLLy strict about where and from who we get our info.. but i'm open to all answers..
thanks in advance to anyone who can answer my question..!!
