What are the advantages and disadvantages of the serial dilution agar plate procedure?
Both force you to read your lab manual.
What are some advantages and disadvantages of the serial dilution agar plate technique?
the total count includes dead as well as living cells
What is agar dilution test?
It's to see if you have VD.
How do you do a serial dilution of a specific concentration of culture?
bacterial cell numbers needs reducing ,which is done by repeatedly diluting the amount of you have in your sample. A small amount of bacterial sample is mixed with a diluent solution(such as sterile broth), and then dilution are made. by adding small amount of diluted bacteria samples then spread onto the agar plate by L-shaped glass rod.
What is the name of the streak when you apply specimen to agar plate?
It is called a streak plate, inoculating the agar plate with a zig-zag motion.

What is the major disadvantage of microbial counts performed by methods other than the serial dilution-agar plate procedure?

What are some advantages of an agar plate over a slant tube?
The following are some advantages of an agar plate verses a slant tube: 1. Surface area- An agar plate has a much larger surface area: a. Easier to isolate individual colonies using the streak-plate method. i. Evaluate the colony shape, margin and elevation. b. Can grow a larger number of cells. 2. Growth- An agar plate allows you to quantify the number of colonies on an agar plate, provided it is within the 30-300 range. Whereas the slant tube cannot quantify growth but only describes growth as none, slight, moderate, or large.

Where should a label written on an agar plate?
On the base of the agar plate.

On the base of the agar plate.
What does it mean to inoculate an agar plate?
to inoculate an agar plate you would place bacteria on the agar to grow
Why are agar plates dried before being used for the preparation of dilution streak plates?
perhaps it is easier to streak that way, i mean when the agar is set and dry. .
What is a Mac plate?
