Modification of nutrient agar medium to culture yet-unculturable bacteria living in unsanitary landfills
The microbial diversity in waste dumps is considered to be high. Generally, <em>ca.</em> 99% of bacterial species remain unculturable in standard media. This research was focused to modify Nutrient Agar (NA) mimicking the natural substrate where bacteria actually live. NA medium was modi...
