Rober Kock developed the culture plate method to identify pathogens.
The hockey stick spreads the known concentration of bacteria evenly over the agar plate.
Streak-plate method
It is necessary to make the colonies well-isolated from each other so that each appears distinct, large and shows characteristic growth forms.Most bacteria, many other microfungi, and unicellular microalgae, may be most commonly obtained by plating methods such as streak plate method, pour plate method and spread plate method.
No, blood agar does not support viral cultivation. Blood agar is primarily used for culturing bacteria, as it contains nutrients that promote bacterial growth. Viruses require living host cells to replicate, so they cannot be cultured on standard agar media like blood agar.
Alsalam alkom There is a difference between the two term (lawn culture and streak culture), if you used a loop for making new culture from primary culture you called that streaking method (like ABC streaking method), while if you used swab and streaked almost all the plate then, you can say (lawn culture).. In conclusion to the above 1- streaking is used to purify the bacterial culture (i.e to make well isolated colony) 2- lawn culture is used for antibiotic sensitivity tests Ali Maki .

Mine is on a plate located under the seat.
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.
Both Spread-plate and pour plate method don't give the same results. Because in the case of spread plate method the inoculmn used for inoculation can't be spread in a exact volume. A little inoculmn remains stick with the spreader after spreading. On the other hand, in pour plate method it doesn't happen. So mostly, through comparing the counts by both methods, less counts are obtained in spread plate method. I am Working as a Sr. Microbiologist in a Biotech company
The streak plate method makes it easier for colonies of bacteria to grow. It also generally leads to individual colonies that look like small dots, rather then simply a mat of bacterial growth.

Pour plate method
The spread-plate method.
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.
