R2A agar is used for enumerating heterotrophic microorganisms from treated potable water.
Ideal for cultivating stressed or slow-growing microorganisms, this R2A Agar offers a low-nutrient environment that mimics their natural habitats. It serves as an effective tool in the field of microbiology, particularly in water testing and other investigations involving low-nutrient ecosystems. The agar's unique formulation enables the growth and isolation of organisms that may be overlooked by other types of media. It is also useful in studying the effects of stress on bacterial growth and survival.
- Formulated for the growth of slow-growing, stressed microorganisms.
- Suitable for use in water testing and other low-nutrient investigations.
- Enables the study of stress effects on bacterial growth and survival.
