i am doing a sciece project on the bacteria found around the kitchen. To do so i had to order three bottles of nutrient agar. when i recieved these bottles the contents was solid; like it should be when settled in a petri dish. Is there any way that i could add somethng to it to bring it back to its original state? It would really help to get an answer back right away because my science fair is is in 3 or 4 weeks. My report is due in 2. i really need this info . the agar has a consistency of stiff dried out jello.
