How do colonies on the surface of a pour plate differ from those suspended in the agar?
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.
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.
The law differs with each state in the United States in regards to suspended registration plates. In some states a fine is imposed, and in others the persons insurance and registration will not be renewed and the license will be suspended.
Tectonic plates are the densest plates on Earth's surface.
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.
there are 8 plates
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
Moisture in the air condenses on the lid of the plate and drops on top the agar if the plates are place right way up. The falling water droplets will spread the bacteria and especially ruin streak plates and spead plates where you need clear distict separate colonies.
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.
The Earth's surface is divided into about 15 major land plates and other smaller sub-plates.
