Placing a question mark at the end of a phrase does not make it a sensible question. Try to use a whole sentence to describe what it is that you want answered.


Why is saline used in serial dilution?

Because the osmotic pressure of "plain" water can be too much for bacteria, causing them to pop, and throw off your colony counts during your serial dilutions. A buffered saline solution keeps the bacteria at their usual osmotic pressure. Typical saline is 0.85%.

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.
