Bacteria grow on MSM agar plate without carbon source

06 August 2012 - 08:00 PM

Hi all,

Recently I conducted experiment on growing bacteria on MSM agar plate with various C-source (using the spot test). To my surprise, I found bacteria grew on the control plate without C-source. It only happened to two bacteria genus (I tested six).
Is it really possible for certain bacteria to eat the agar as their carbon source? (I used agar noble)
