How do you polish aluminum plate?
You pour coca cola on the plate and use a cloth to rub the plate.
Which method often results in colonies developing down throughout the agar and some colonies on the surface?
pour plate
How do you detect acid and gas production using solid medium?
By using pour-plate method with the suitable growth medium.
Identify the TWO basic tenets of the CCOR?
it is possible to estimate how long specific chemicals will linger on non-porous materials non-porous materials such as painted or bare metal may have residual contamination
If you pour oil into a cup of water will the oil poison the water?
No. The oil should drain off of the water. Water and oil don't mix, so there would be no contamination. If there is something else mixed with the oil, though, it can possibly mix with the water.
What is the purpose of the pour-plate technique?
used to assay bacterial contamination on food.
What is the main advantage of pour-plate method over other methods of bacterial colony isolation?
Previous answer: "because of infection" This person is obviously trying to be funny, the right word should be "Contamination", as for spread plate, the bacteria is more exposed to air as it is spread over the agar plate. Therefore, the result might not be accurate, as it might be contaminated. As for the pour plate method, the bacteria is in the agar itself, it is not exposed to air, thus, less risk of getting contaminated.
How does the contribution of growth on a pour plate different from that on a steak plate?
Colonies growing on a pour plate have slightly less avalible oxygen and are confined by the gel matrix so they tend to grow smaller than those on a pour plate. Streak plates are use to isolate single colonies, pour plates are used to enumerate batceria.
How do you polish aluminum plate?

How do colonies on the surface of a pour plate differ from those suspended in agar?
How do colonies on the surface of a pour plate differ from those suspended in the agar?
What is the purpose for pour plate?
The purpose of a pour plate is to exam the bacteria in milk. It is used to find isolated bacteria colonies under anaerobic and aerobic environments.
How do the results of pour plate method compare with those obtained using the streak plate and spread plate method?
In the pour plate, the microorganisms will grow within the gel that has been set, and in the spread-plate technique, growth will be on top of the agar gel where it has been spread.
Who developed the culture plate method of identify pathogens?
Rober Kock developed the culture plate method to identify pathogens.
Could some bacteria grow on the streak plate and not be seen using the pour plate technique?
Put simply - yes. Some strictly aerobic organisms will not grow in a pour plate. They may, however proliferate on a streak plate. Also consider the posibility of experimental error. The culture may have been added to the molten agar when it was too hot for the organisms to survive.
Does the streak plate method work better than the pour plate method?
I 4 got
Who was the first to developed the culture plate method to identify pathogens?
Rober Kock developed the culture plate method to identify pathogens.
What is the importance of a pour plate in microbiology?
Extensively used with procaryotes and fungi, a pour plate can yield isolate colonies. The original sample is diluted several times to reduce the microbial population sufficiently to obtain seprate colonies when plating. The pour plate can be used to determine the number of cells in a population.
