Abstract

Acidobacteriota are highly abundant in soils, however, few cultured representatives are available. The purity of the reagents can influence microbial growth in laboratory conditions and successful isolation. Here we investigated the impact of different agar brands in culture medium and advocate that agar origin should be carefully considered for Acidobacteriota strains growth and microbial isolation.
