The important of obtain pure bacteria?
The need of pure culture of bacteria to characterize an individual species. Pure culture are also important to study the morphology and physiology of individual bacterial species, their biochemical behaviour and response to different compounds like antibiotics, which all can me alter by the influence of other species if prestent (in mixed culture) and also for isolating and studying of their molicular structure i.e. DNA or RNA. Some common ways to obtain a pure culture of bacteria are: 1 The spread plate technique. 2 The pour plate. 3 Streak plate technique.
Why use a streak plate to grow a bacterium?
You do a streak plate in order to get isolated colonies. If you inoculate into a slant, you have less surface area to work and less chance of getting isolated colonies. In broth, you'll definitely get growth but you won't know WHAT is growing. You go back into each quadrant (a little) with your loop in order to "dilute" the bacteria and get colonies. Quadrant 1 is pretty think (like a smear on the plate) but by the time you get to Quadrants 3 and 4, you should see more defined colonies and not just a film of bacteria.
What is the criteria for a good quality streak plate?
In scientific circles, the streak plate method is considered to be a rapid qualitative isolation method. To be effective, one must reduce the number of organisms in the inoculums by spreading a loop of culture over an agar plate. This ensures that individual cells are properly separated on the surface for the purpose of differentiating various species. The method is as follows: Using a sterile loop, microbes are initially transferred to the plate with one swipe. On the subsequent swipes, the loop is heated in the flame of a Bunsen burner to lessen the population of microbes being transmitted. Streak patterns are also done in via T-streak or by applying the loop to four quadrants of the plate.
What advantage does the streak plate method have over the pour plate method?
A disadvantage of the streak plate technique could be colony isolation problems. If the streaking technique is not done properly or if there is too much of an organism present on the inoculating loop then the cells can cluster and form what looks like one colony but it can actually be a couple colonies (made from a couple cells). This can cause an inaccurate colony forming unit count.
How could you identify a potential contaminant on a streak plate?
To clean a streak plate I use coke classic. In the red can, the diet version does not work as well. I believe it is the acid that takes away the powdered rock debris. It makes them quite white again. Mr clean magic eraser also takes away some of the heavy debris...but does not get them clean enough.
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.
What advantages does the streak-plate method have over the pour plate method?
The streak plate method makes it easier for colonies of bacteria to grow. It also generally leads to individual colonies that look like small dots, rather then simply a mat of bacterial growth.

Why doesn't M Roseus grow on streak plate?
M. roseus may not grow on a streak plate due to various reasons such as the nutrient content of the media, growth conditions like temperature or pH not being optimal for the bacterium, or the presence of inhibitory substances in the streak plate that hinder its growth. Each bacterial species has specific requirements for growth, and if these are not met, it may not grow on a particular type of media like a streak plate.

Does gabbro have a streak?
Gabbro does not have a streak because it is a coarse-grained rock made up of minerals like plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene that are harder than the streak plate. As a result, gabbro does not leave a streak when rubbed on a streak plate.

What is the streak of a opal?
The streak of an opal is typically colorless due to its amorphous structure. It doesn't leave a visible streak on a streak plate like some other minerals do.
Why do some very hard minerals leave no streak?
Very hard minerals like diamonds can leave no streak because their hardness prevents them from being scratched by the streak plate. Since the streak test involves rubbing the mineral against a surface to leave a streak, extremely hard minerals won't leave a streak behind because they are tougher than the testing material.

What does a mineral and streak tell you and how do you test for it?
The streak of a mineral can distinguish between two samples that have the same color. The streak is often a different color. To test streak, use a streak plate. This is a piece of unglazed porcelain, like the back side of a tile.
