What are 3 methods used to isolate microorganisms from a mixed culture?
It is necessary to make the colonies well-isolated from each other so that each appears distinct, large and shows characteristic growth forms.Most bacteria, many other microfungi, and unicellular microalgae, may be most commonly obtained by plating methods such as streak plate method, pour plate method and spread plate method.
Primary purpose of the streak plate?
A streak plate technique is used to isolate a single species from a mixed species population. You take a small sample of the mixed species on a sterile loop and streak an agar medium into four zones, reflaming the loop between zones. After incubation, single species colonies should be visible within the fourth zone.
Does lead make a streak?
The streak of lead is gray.
What streak color does a calcite rocks make?
It leaves a white streak.
The color of a mineral's streak depends on the color of the mineral?
Yes all minerals have streaks, but since minerals have different levels of hardness it's harder to make some streaks than others that are easier to make like the streak of graphite.
If a mineral doesn't make a streak is it not a mineral?
Minerals with a hardness greater than around 7 on the Mohs hardness scale will not leave a streak on a standard unglazed porcelain streak plate. They will instead scratch and powder the streak plate.

If you were given a tube with 3 different bacterial species in it what is the first thing you would do to separate the three?
The best thing to do is get a nutrient agar plate and spread the bacteria using a streak-plate method of isolation to grow the different colonies individually. (And you could do a second streak-plate from each type of colony you see just to make sure that your colonies each contain only one type of bacteria.) From there you can identify and grow each pure culture. (Also, you could use selective medias.)

What is difference between a lawn culture and streak plate?
Alsalam alkom There is a difference between the two term (lawn culture and streak culture), if you used a loop for making new culture from primary culture you called that streaking method (like ABC streaking method), while if you used swab and streaked almost all the plate then, you can say (lawn culture).. In conclusion to the above 1- streaking is used to purify the bacterial culture (i.e to make well isolated colony) 2- lawn culture is used for antibiotic sensitivity tests Ali Maki .
