What type of media is used for growing a culture from a throat specimen?
blood and chocolate agar plates as well as in universities laboratory Nutrient agar plates are also provided
How did Robert Koch discovery being used today?
The use of agar in petri plates.
Why is a TSA used for the streak plate?
Tryptic soya agar plates are used for streaking as it is a very general agar (ie not selective) and it promotes the growth of a broad spectrum of micoorganisms
What is alger plates?
Do you mean "agar plates"? Agar agar is a seaweed that, when boiled, makes a product similar to gelatin. This stuff is edible, so vegans who liked jello can have it. It's used by boiling it in water, adding things to it, pouring it into petri dishes and letting it harden to use in making bacteria cultures. Some of the things that are added to it are beef broth--"nutrient agar"--and blood--"blood agar."
What is the suitable media for the gram positive bacteria?
Gram negative gastrointestinal bacteria, colonies such as E.coli can usually be isolated on simple agar plates, incubated at roughly 37 degrees. Other plates can be used if you want to isolate certain aspects of the colony, but usually agar is the first choice.

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 are the general forms of media used in a microbiology laboratory?
Physical types of media include those that are liquid, such as broths and milk, those that are semi solid, and those that are solid. Kristian F.
What are incubators commonly used for?
Incubators are used commonly in biological sciences. Scientists use incubators to grow microbesin agar broths and on agar plates. The incubators are various warm temperatures and can promote aerobic or anerobic growth of microbes.
What jelly is made from seaweed and used in glue making?
Agar-agar
Why use Azide blood agar MacConkey agar and Nutrient agar plates for identification of microorganisms?
Azide blood agar base contains sodium azide which has been proved to have a bacteriostatic effect on Gram-negative bacteria, thus this medium is used for the isolation of streptococci and staphylococci in clinical specimens, water, foods, etc. MacConkey agar is designed to grow Gram-negative bacteria and differentiate them for lactose fermentation. Nutrient agar is used for the routine cultivation of non-fastidious bacteria.
How do agar and physical science relate?
Agar is a substance derived from seaweed. Agar plates are used in scientific experiments as mediums for the growth of bacteria and fungi, as well as a medium for seed germination and electrophoretic separation experiments. See article at the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agar_plate
Why must warm agar be cooled down at 45 47 celsius before agar plates are poured?
Why we cool agar before pouring depends on WHY we are pouring it. If we are pouring a gel or standard media for streak culture then we allow some cooling to take place because we don't want to burn our fingers. If we are pouring a pour plate we allow a lot of cooling to take place so we don't kill our microbes through heat steralization. As my teacher used to say "boiled bugs don't grow".
