QUESTION
Solidifying temperature of agar medium is?
OPTIONS
(A) 45℃
(B) 45℉
(C) 98℃
(D) 55℃
ANSWER
(A) 45℃
EXPLANATION
Agar is liquid when heated and solidifies on cooling, with ordinary bacteriological agar gels at approximately 40–45°C. Therefore option A is correct; 45°F is far too low for the standard solidification temperature, while 98°C and 55°C do not represent the usual gelation point.
