Nutrient Agar is widely used in microbiology for the cultivation of a broad range of non-fastidious microorganisms. It supports the growth of various bacteria and fungi, making it ideal for routine laboratory work such as culture maintenance, enumeration of microbial load in samples, and educational demonstrations. Due to its balanced composition, it is commonly used in quality control testing of pharmaceuticals, food, and water to detect microbial contamination. It also serves as a base for preparing other specialized media by adding specific nutrients or indicators. Its solidifying property, thanks to agar, allows for the isolation of pure cultures through streaking or pour plate methods.
