When bacteria is grown in an Agar plate, one quantitative method to measure growth is using a counting chamber. Another method is using viable plate counts.

What is Julius Richard Petri known for?
Julius Richard Petri is known for being the inventor of the petri dish. In early bacteria studies, cultures were kept in lidless dishes and as a result they often became contaminated. Julius Richard Petri invented a dish with a lid that reduced the risk of contamination and this has become known as the petri dish.
What are the uses of petri dishes?
is a shallow cylindrical glass or plastic lidded dish that biologists use to culture cells - such as bacteria - or small mosses.
A shallow glass container used to prepare cultures in science lab?
beakercould be a petri dish
How do you use an petri dish?
a petri dish is used to study small things
Where do you put a pitri dish?
It's spelled, "Petri", and you put a petri dish on a level surface, otherwise the growth medium might spill out. The level surface could be a sterile box, a regrigerator, or just on a work counter. Then, if you dropped bread crumbs on the bacteria growing in your petri dish, and if those bread crumbs happened to have a little blue bread mold on them, and you noticed that the bread mold killed the bacteria, then your name might be Alexander Fleming, who is credited with discovering antibiotics.
What is a two-piece glass or plastic dish used for growing bacteria or mold?
A "petri dish"
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
What scientific instrument can grow bacteria and has a lid?
a petri dish
What is petri dish used for?
It's used for breeding bacteria!!
What is the uses of petri dish in physics?
A Petri dish is a shallow glass or plastic cylindrical dish that biologists use to culture cells, which can be bacteria, animal, plant, or fungus.
A doctor grows some bacteria in a petri dish for several days which is the independent variable in this situation?
number of bacteria in the dish
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.
A mass of bacteria growing in a petri dish?
Any bacteria with right nutrient in vitro can be cultured. This method is very useful when carrying out any experiment. As long as nutrient medium is maintained bacteria will grow with no problems in a petri dish.
Is there an explanation of why bacteria from one different swabbed object will grow more colonies on a petri dish than another?
It could be the medium in the Petri dish in which the different bacteria grow. It could also be the swabbing technique.
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.
A sentence with the word coalesce in it?
The colonies of bacteria started to coalesce in the petri dish.
What is bacterial suspension?
Refers to the bacteria suspended on the petri dish or growth medium.
