before bacterial culture, the media containing agar i.e. solid agar should dry in the incubator, that is prewarm agar plate.
to inoculate an agar plate you would place bacteria on the agar to grow
MacConkey Agar plate
It is called a streak plate, inoculating the agar plate with a zig-zag motion.
There are areas on the agar plate where no bacteria grow because that area was missed when the plate was streaked.
Agar is used to culture bacteria for scientific research.
to determine and test its growth rate at room temperature and body temperature as a control plate.
How do colonies on the surface of a pour plate differ from those suspended in the agar?
Spreading is done carefully on agar plate as we have to prevent even a minute to minute contamination and also we have to check that weather the spreading is done equally or not while not demaging the layer of agar.
The pour plate method often results in colonies developing both down throughout the agar and on the surface. This is because the pour plate involves mixing the bacteria with the agar before pouring it into the plate, allowing for colonies to form at different depths within the agar.
