Culturable bacteria from four soil samples grown on various solid media. Complex media with agar supported the growth of approximately one order of magnitude more CFU than defined media. Similarly, agar supported more growth than noble agar as a solidifying agent, presumably due to impurities that are removed during the noble agar purification process. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of three replicates.
