Actually the liquid agar medium is used in the petridishes to grow the colonies of bacteria. The nutritional environment available to the bacteria results in to faster growth of their colonies and also they can be used for the experiments more rapidly

Why should the lid of the petri plate not be removed completely when transferring bacteria?
To minimize contamination from the environment, surrounding air, the handler, etc.
What is the function of a pietri dish?
A petri dish is a flat dish made of either plastic or glass. It is used primarily to grow a culture of bacteria.
What is bacterial suspension?
Refers to the bacteria suspended on the petri dish or growth medium.
Can you use blood to grow bacteria on petridishes?
Bacteria will grow in blood but no the growing medium in petri dishes should be clear agar.
What is a petri dish canister and what is it used for?
A Petri dish is a shallow glass or plastic cylindrical lidded dish that biologists use to culture cells. It was named after German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri, who invented it when working as an assistant to Robert Koch.

To minimize contamination from the environment, surrounding air, the handler, etc.
What laboratory apparatus will determine if a bacteria is alive or not?
One method is a petri dish because the bacteria would grow or not grow in a warm environment. Or a microscope because you could see any activity of the bacteria.
What is the container used for growing mold or bacteria called?
the containor used for growing mold and bacteria is the PETRI DISH. a lot of people use agar as the gel to grow mold and bacteria
What is a two-piece glass or plastic dish used for growing bacteria or mold?
A "petri dish"

Why would you grow bacteria in petri dishes?
put agar in a Petri dish, then use a Q-tip to wipe a dirty surface, then spread it on the Petri dish in a zigzag motion, then it will grow over time.
What scientific instrument can grow bacteria and has a lid?
a petri dish
What is petri dish used for?
It's used for breeding bacteria!!
What equipment can be used to grow bacteria?
Agar and petri dishes.
What the most common way to grow bacteria is?
The most common way to grow bacteria is in an agar petri dish. The bacteria are usually placed by a swab into the petri dish and incubated for a predetermined period of time (The agar serves as a food source for the bacteria). Then, growth, or no growth, of bacteria will be observed.
A mass of bacteria growing in a petri dish?
Any bacteria with right nutrient in vitro can be cultured. This method is very useful when carrying out any experiment. As long as nutrient medium is maintained bacteria will grow with no problems in a petri dish.
Is there an explanation of why bacteria from one different swabbed object will grow more colonies on a petri dish than another?
It could be the medium in the Petri dish in which the different bacteria grow. It could also be the swabbing technique.
