Previously prodded, deprodded, and then redirected, but there is no good redirect target. Could be merged into culture media or enrichment culture but unclear if topic is notable and deletion may be best. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:29, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Delete seems to be a term that is only used in a handful of papers coming out of Nabil Hegazi's lab (and I'm not sure he's notable either). The article describes it as "sole use of plant material as a microbial culture media"; the sources discuss preparing culture media by mixing liquified or dried plant material with agar. While the red algae sources of agar could be considered plants, the cited sources don't seem to be doing so. The topic appears to be a non-notable form of an enrichment culture.

• Delete Single work-group approach without sufficient coverage. Incidentally, yes, artfully sidestepping the nature of agar seems a bit of a stretch. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:13, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
