I am working on a project where I am testing the resistance of a certain bacteria to copper and was testing it by adding copper at varying concentrations to r2a agar. However, despite sitting in a cold room for a week the agar at 0.08 M Cu 2+ is completely liquified and 0.00321 M Cu2+ is like a slushy. The other agar concentrations solidified. Is this happening because of the copper concentration and is there a way around this?
