Why would you grow bacteria in petri dishes?
put agar in a Petri dish, then use a Q-tip to wipe a dirty surface, then spread it on the Petri dish in a zigzag motion, then it will grow over time.
What equipment can be used to grow bacteria?
Agar and petri dishes.
What the most common way to grow bacteria is?
The most common way to grow bacteria is in an agar petri dish. The bacteria are usually placed by a swab into the petri dish and incubated for a predetermined period of time (The agar serves as a food source for the bacteria). Then, growth, or no growth, of bacteria will be observed.
What is the container used for growing mold or bacteria called?
the containor used for growing mold and bacteria is the PETRI DISH. a lot of people use agar as the gel to grow mold and bacteria
Why do you grow bacteria on agar jelly?
Put agar jelly in a petri dish to sterilize the dish and then use something like a sterile inoculating loop to put the bacteria on the jelly. Then, seal the petri dish but make sure it is not airtight.

Can you use blood to grow bacteria on petridishes?
Bacteria will grow in blood but no the growing medium in petri dishes should be clear agar.
What does agar in the petri dish provide the bacteria with?
A medium (substrate) to grow on and, depending on the agar, nutrients for growth. See link below for more information.
What is the nam of petri dish gel?
The gel in a Petri dish is called "Agar".
Why do you grow bacteria on agar jelly?
Put agar jelly in a petri dish to sterilize the dish and then use something like a sterile inoculating loop to put the bacteria on the jelly. Then, seal the petri dish but make sure it is not airtight.
What substance goes in a petri dish?
Any microorganism such as bacteria etc. *Agar jelly, a substance normally made from seaweed and is very nutritious for bacteria, moulds, etc.
Which environment has the most total bacteria either petri dish or liquid agar?
Actually the liquid agar medium is used in the petridishes to grow the colonies of bacteria. The nutritional environment available to the bacteria results in to faster growth of their colonies and also they can be used for the experiments more rapidly
If you use petri dishes for blood do you have to use nutrient agar powder too?
if you use petri dishes do you put nutrient agar in it if your using blood?
How much agar solution do you need for bacteria to grow on an agar plate?
Agar is a gelatinous substance extracted from seaweed. One of its many uses is to solidify nutrient broth used in growing bacteria on a petri dish. A petri dish is a two piece clear glass or plastic dish which keeps dirt or dust from falling into the sterile medium, but allows air to enter and carbon dioxide to leave.
