Product Description Bushnell Haas Agar is recommended for the examination of fuels for microbial contamination and for studying hydrocarbon deterioration by microorganisms. This media contains all the nutrients except hydrocarbon, which are necessary for the growth of bacteria. The bacteria can decompose a variety of hydrocarbons such as kerosene, mineral oil, paraffin wax and gasoline. For testing the liquid hydrocarbon, it is layered on the surface of the inoculated agar. For testing the volatile hydrocarbon, petri plates containing medium are inverted and the hydrocarbon is poured into the lid.
