loop
or wire across the
agar
you are removing
bacteria
from the loop. The reason it is essential is because every little bacterium that comes off that loop will grow like crazy on the agar, creating a colony. When you have an individual colony, after many times of streaking, you know, almost certainly, that you have genetically identical bacteria, barring mutations, without contamination.
So, simply put, to ensure your bacterial specimen is, to the best of your ability, without contamination.

Isolation of siderophore producing bacteria from leguminous plants?
yes.we can isolate bacteria from leguminous plant.
Why are bacteria essential in ensuring the continued recycling nitrogen and carbon?
Bacteria can affix atmosphereic nitrogen, which is an essential step in the nitrogen cycle.
How could the isolation of spore forming bacteria from a soil sample be facilitated?
In a sponge! Lol
Why its important to grow bacteria in lab?
Cultivation of bacteria is essential for the study of bacteria, usually in the development of vaccines for particular pathogens.
What are some places you might find bacteria?
Bacteria are found absolutely everywhere in the biosphere of our planet!! No other kind of organism is as widely distributed. It takes great efforts of sterilization and isolation to create any place that doesn't have bacteria.
