I did streak some plates myself, which came in handy later. However, a nice KZbin video they could watch the night before was also really helpful. To make up for your previous instructors who didn't explicitly show you enough things, I will now show you how to spell the phrases "so-called" and "a lot."

@HardyDx2 жыл бұрын
Oh no! When media is incubated "upside down" like that, with the media facing upwards, condensation can accumulate on the face of the agar and inhibit proper growth and developing colonies. If you invert your plates, you'll definitely have better-looking plates than the rest of your class!

Nangsanbhalang Blah, Great question about the coloration of the agar! This was streaked on our Blood Agar, an all-purpose growth agar with hemolytic properties. Some organisms will hemolyze the blood in the agar, leaving clear zones around the colonies, something we won't see on traditional TSA. Hope that helps!

In my class they never told us to reheat the probe before creating the next spread section. Is that why our colonies are always too big? Or is it possible to make small colonies without burning the probe in between each swab?
@HardyDx2 ай бұрын
@JesusLightsYourPath Great question. The reason that the metal loop is sterilized for each quadrant is to eliminate extraneous 'crossover' of organism when you streak each quadrant out. By the final streak, the number of cells on the loop should be diluted and low enough that single colonies are dispersed and isolated on the agar surface. If you were to not sterilize between streaks you would end up with a much more confluent 'lawn' of bacteria because of all the extra organism on the loop when you go to streak your successive quadrants.

If i accidentally tore the surface of the agar using the loop during streaking, will the bacteria colonies still able to grow?
@HardyDx7 ай бұрын
Colonies will still grow, yes. However, it is usually best to restart on a fresh plate as the puncture could lead to difficulties in reading/counting colonies or could cause unwanted areas of heavy growth. Don't worry though! Marring the surface is extremely common, especially in beginners. Keep practicing and you'll be able to do it as if it were nothing!

Wha??? She's literally doing like 10-20 passes AS THE NARRATOR IS SAYING "no more than 2-3" or "1-2"!? 🫴🫴?! Is her technique fine? Sure. Is it the best? No. But what a terrible example 😠 at least be consistent when making an instructional video.
@HardyDx3 ай бұрын
@brystopczynski1295 Thank you for your comment. Yes, this is the correct technique used by microbiologist. When streaking a plate the goal is to reduce the number of cells to isolated colonies from quadrant to quadrant. So when the narrator says overlap no more than 2-3 times, it means only overlap from quadrant #1 to quadrant #2, 2-3 times, then continue to streak the remainder of the quadrant. Each time you go to a new quadrant only overlap your streak 2-3 times, then finish out the streak with the 10 -20 passes shown in the video. Your feedback is heard, and we will continue to improve our videos. We are committed to providing a Culture of Service. If you have any other further questions don't hesitate to reach out. Additional if you would like to know more about the four quadrant streak feel free to visit our blog to learn more about the process. hardydiagnostics.com/blog/petri-plate-2023
