Subculturing refers to transferring microorganisms from one medium to another. For example, bacteria growing in broth may be transferred to an agar plate.
Wire loops are used to transfer microorganisms from liquid media to liquid or solid media.
Needles are used for transferring microorganisms to deep tubes.

Why must you not flame your loop then quickly try to pick up bacteria with it?
The heat can kill the bacteria
What is the purpose of flaming the loop before and after use?
Inoculating loop is used to inoculate microbial colony or sample on culture medium and to avoid the undesired microbial cells or to avoid contamination flaming of inoculating loop is necessary it is also called as incerination.
What is a single loop of DNA found in bacteria?
bacterial plasmid/ plasmid ring
Why is the loop heated before it is used to transfer bacteria?
The inoculating loop should be heated until it is hot enough to turn red, and then allowed to cool for a couple seconds. This ensures that the heat kills the majority of lingering bacteria before or after use.
Why should the lid of the petri plate not be removed completely when transferring bacteria?
To minimize contamination from the environment, surrounding air, the handler, etc.
Which technique is preferable for transferring a large amount of data to and from a memory in a short time?
Banwidth
Function of inoculator loop?
Inoculating loops are for the transferring of microorganisms or for the staining of slides. ?æIt is also called a smear loop or a micro streaker.?æ
What is the most commonly used instrument used for transferring cultures from a broth?
inoculating loop and needle.
What is cros-contamination?
a cross contamination is the transferring of bacteria from one substance to another. or the spreading of the bacteria between food.
Why must you not flame your loop then quickly try to pick up bacteria with it?
The heat can kill the bacteria
What is aseptic transfer?
Transferring bacteria from one place to another and keeping the transfer pure.
Why that you should cool first the inculating loop or needle before using?
"because otherwise you will kill the bacteria from the heat, and you may also melt the agar jelly that you are innoculating the bacterium onto."
Why is loop flamed before it is placed in a culture tube?
To kill any bacteria on it.
Why is an wire loop heated in a Bunsen burner?
For sterilization purposes. The process of heating the loop to white hot kills all bacteria that remain between samples.
What is the purpose of flaming the loop before and after use?
Inoculating loop is used to inoculate microbial colony or sample on culture medium and to avoid the undesired microbial cells or to avoid contamination flaming of inoculating loop is necessary it is also called as incerination.
What is a single loop of DNA found in bacteria?
bacterial plasmid/ plasmid ring
Can break statement be used without any loop?
The Break statement should generally get executed in some loop or switch statement. The below code will give compiler error. void main() { printf("12"); break; printf("14"); }
