AGAR-LAC
Report of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry
Agar-lac, said to be the product of “Agar-lac, Inc.,” is sold by E.
Fougera and Company, New York. The following “formula” for Agar-lac is
published:
“Agar-Agar with Lactic Ferments Grs. 4-1/2
Phenolphthalein Grs. 1/2”
Regarding the “lactic ferment,” the identity of which is not declared by
the manufacturer and for the viability of which no precautions appear
to be taken, the Council’s expert on lactic acid ferments reported that
_Bacillus bulgaricus_ was present in small numbers only and that there
were at least two other bacteria present, one of which is a gas-former
of the _Bacillus coli_ type.
