colony counter
To determine the number of organisms in a water sample choose a plate that has less than 300 but more than 30 colonies. Then count the number of colonies and record the results.
Cell Plate
Usually hundreds of colonies (>300) is considered as a high plate count.
The surface colonies on a pour plate larger than those within the medium especially aerobic bacteria within the medium would be a restriction of growth. The restriction of growth would be due to the lack of oxygen.
why could bacterial colonies found in the first section of a streak plate but not on sections two and three
If you transform bacteria with a plasmid containing a selection marker (such as an antibiotic resistance gene) and plate the transformed bacteria on a plate suited for selecting for plasmid-containing bacteria (such as a plate containing an antibiotic that only those bacteria with antibiotic resistance can survive), then simply inspecting whether colonies are present on the plate will suffice in determining whether the transformation succeeded. If no colonies are found, that means no bacteria got the antibiotic resistance gene on the plasmid and the transformation was unsuccessful. If some colonies are found, that means some bacteria contain the plamis containing the antibiotic resistance gene and those colonies can the transformation was successful.

Re-streak the center of the 'star' colony (transformed surrounded by satellites) on a plate contains the antibiotic, typically ampicillin. The colonies in the tertiary streak will most likely be the transformants. If you want to be quite sure, pick a single colony from the tertiary streak and re-streak again on a plate containing the antibiotic.
The oceanic plate must be more dense than the continental plate for this to happen.

How do colonies on the surface of a pour plate differ from those suspended in the agar?
An assiette is a plate of food, a small plate containing the same food item prepared in different ways.
The isolated colonies for the new plate can be used to compare with the isolated colonies on the old plate. If the morphologies are the same, it can be assumed that pure culture is obtained.
Cell Plate
Usually hundreds of colonies (>300) is considered as a high plate count.
check the license plate??
I think you would eliminate plate counts that are not between 30-300 colonies. <30, because its too few to count, >300 too numerous to count.
