Tanaka Et Al 2014 A Hidden Pitfall in The Preparation of Agar Media Undermines Microorganism Cultivability by José Luis García Zamora is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study investigated the impact of two different methods for preparing agar growth media - autoclaving phosphate and agar together (PT method) versus separately (PS method) - on cultivating microorganisms. Using a pure culture of Gemmatimonas aurantiaca and environmental samples, significantly higher colony counts were observed on PS medium compared to PT medium. Chemical analysis found higher levels of hydrogen peroxide in PT medium, suggesting it contributed to growth inhibition. Comparison of communit
