Making Starch Agar Plates
From 2008.igem.org
- Add 1g starch powder to 100mL LB.
- Add 1g bacterial agar powder.
- Mix by shaking gently and microwave until solute has completely dissolved. (Ensure lid of bottle is removed before microwaving.)
- Pour into pre-labelled petri-dishes. 100mL LB should be enough to make 4 plates.
- Remove any bubbles by quickly moving the flame of a Bunsen burner over the poured agar.
- Leave to set 30-45 minutes.
- Once set, leave the plates in a fan-cupboard for 10 minutes with their lids partially off to dry out any condensation before plating.
