Subject: MILK agar?
G'day all,
I've a student trying to get to grips with milk agar for a protease test.
It's a long time since I did this! References suggest autoclaving
milk-powder solution, but this seems dooomed to failure with heat
denaturation.
Anyone currently engaged successfully in milk agar that can give advice will
become our lab hero for the week!
Many thanks,
John Rowlands,
