Why are colonies on a heavily seeded plate smaller than those that appear on a sparsely seeded plate?

Microbe colonies develop in larger sizes on sparsely seeded plates due to the abundance of plate surface they have for growth. Heavily seeded plates produce smaller colonies as they are forced to compete with one another for basic survival.


Why must we use sterile techniques to incubate agar plates?

Because if the plates are wet you will not get individual colonies, instead you will get a film of bacteria growing in the water film on the surface of the plate. This can ruin a selection for transformants as the antibiotic will not be present in the water film on the surface of the plate.
