1 mL aliquot is placed into 3 mL of molten top agar. I am a bit of a loss re this "top agar". Later on the text refer to "bottom agar plate".

Explanation:
Dans une boîte on met de l'agar assez gélatineux sur lequel on inocule des bactéries, elles-mêmes mélangées dans de l'agar moins concentré, ce qui forme une couche "supérieure" d'agar.

Explanation:
une possibilité : est-ce que molten top agar ne pourrait pas être agar/gélose (selon le terme que vous utilisez) fondu(e) en surface ?

agree  Jean-Marc (X): Tout à fait, on parle aussi de "surcouche de gélose" (ou "surcouche d'agar") pour traduire "top agar".
