to inoculate an agar plate you would place bacteria on the agar to grow
The growth media such as nutrient agar or Mckonkey agar is used to isolate microbial cells from the mix culture when inoculate on them. Some time speical media is used which selectivly grow some time of bacteria or a differential media which give different morphology of different bacterial species e.g. blood agar and Mannitol salt agar. It can be done by three ways: the spread plate method, the streak plate method, and the pour plate method.
MacConkey Agar plate
The agar surface of a laboratory dish covers the entire area of the dish. An inadequate spread of inoculate will not give the desired outcome.
There are areas on the agar plate where no bacteria grow because that area was missed when the plate was streaked.
before bacterial culture, the media containing agar i.e. solid agar should dry in the incubator, that is prewarm agar plate.
During the microbiology lab, the students were instructed to inoculate the agar plates with the bacterial culture.

The agar surface of a laboratory dish covers the entire area of the dish. An inadequate spread of inoculate will not give the desired outcome.
It is called a streak plate, inoculating the agar plate with a zig-zag motion.
because you want to introduces as little air as possible
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.
How do colonies on the surface of a pour plate differ from those suspended in the agar?
