Create a flow chart on how to prepare a nutrient agar

B. Preparation of Nutrient Agar (NA)
a. To every liter of nutrient broth, add 15 – 20 g agar.
b. Dissolve the agar in a boiling water bath. After the agar has dissolved, restore
to original volume by adding hot water.
Agar is a component used for solidifying bacteriological media; it is a gel-forming
polysaccharide, which is extractable from several species of red seaweeds (agarophytes).
It is a mixture of at least 2 polysaccharides: agarose and agaropectin, with components.
Agar should be capable of remaining molten and fluid at 40 - 45°C after cooling from the
boiling point. Grades are available and depending upon brand, the required amount of
agar will vary.
Agar slopes or slants are made by allowing liquefied agar to solidify in slanting position.
Media should always be stored in cool and moist environment to prevent evaporation.
