What is the value of petri plates in microbiology?

It gives microbiologists a way to grow bacteria on a solid medium. This is important if you want to be able to obtain a pure culture, without a solid medium to grow bacteria it would be nearly impossible. On a solid media a single colony can be isolated and used to innoculate a further plate or broth culture. All the bacteria present in a colony should be decendents of a single organism and so be genetically identical. To obtain a pure culture in liquid media, you would have to do numerous serial dilutions which is very labor intensive compared to streaking a solid medium. Even after many serial dilutions there would be no way to ensure a pure culture.
