I have visited genetics lab at the local university and they use some commercial molasses/agar type media...it's total crap, it stinks and produces crap too. No comparison to my simple and cheap. I don't know why people put all these expensive ingredients into their cultures, when such simple method produces so much

Marty is' it to hard for you to give us the measures you uses and how many containers can you fill with your recipe?
