Hmm, it's customary on AB to at least thank someone for answering your previous questions. Bearing in mind that you've not done this for the the previous answers I provided regarding P. aeruginosa and agars, some might say I'm being foolish for helping you further. We'll see.

You should have been able to deduce the answer to this question from the answers I gave here:

If you're still having difficulty, the answer is TSA. Nutrient agar is really only suitable for maintaining a culture - it does not selectively grow pathogens such as P. aeruginosa.

sorry normally I do but I've hardly been on here, I've been doing my uni work (which is doing my head in!!) so I'm online as little was possible (I get very easily distracted)!

I really do appreciate your help and in my defence I normally do say TIA or thanks in the posts!!

Thanks!! :-D
