Md. Furkanur Rahaman Mizan

at 0.5% agar, bacteria shows swarming ability. If you increase agar concentration, you may see no motility what you desire. At 1.5% agar concentration we just see colonies

Thank you all! I think, I figured out what to do and would like to remove the question now. I kindly invite you to remove your answers so that I can remove the question.

Use bottom layer of 15 g/L agar and afetr solidification a soft agar(0.7% agar) seeded with your motile organism is added.You will easily check motility on a marked central line as diffused growth.
