Certain Isolation techniqiues are based on the concept that if an individual bacterial cell is separated from other cells and provided adequate space on a nutrient surface, it will grow into discrete mound of cells called a colony

Why restreak isolated colony?

Restreaking an isolated colony helps to obtain a pure culture by separating individual bacterial cells and preventing contamination. It also allows for further characterisation of the colony and ensures reproducibility in future experiments.

Why would you assume that an isolated colony is a pure colony of that microorganism?

Because bacterial cells reproduce and form identical daughter cells. Therefore, a single cell that is isolated away from the rest of the mixed bacterial culture will reproduce a colony of cells identical to itself. You will know that it is only that certain type of bacteria with none others mixed in, or pure :)


Is a subculture is a culture made from isolated colony?

No, a subculture is not merely a culture formed from an isolated colony. Instead, it refers to a group within a larger culture that shares distinct beliefs, values, or practices that differentiate it from the mainstream culture. Subcultures often arise from shared interests, lifestyles, or identities and can exist in urban or diverse environments, interacting with the broader culture rather than being isolated from it.

Why can a single colony on a plate be used to start a culture?

The colony started from one single microbe that divided and divided until it formed what we call a colony of all the same bacteria. By selecting that colony we can be sure that its is pure and will grow only into a pure culture. Be sure to select on that is isolated so that you will not pick up a contaminate.


How are words colony and colonist related?

One can assume colony and colonist have related definitions because they share the same root. In this case, a colonist is someone who inhabits or forms a colony.


What geographic feature kept Afghanistan isolated or apart from the rest of Asia?

Afghanistan is already an "out of the way" place in Asia. It's been isolated due to the mountainous land forms and the possibility of earthquakes. It also has no coastline to the Indian Ocean. If it did it would not be so isolated.

Why is it important to start a bacterial culture with a single isolated colony?

It is important for someone who works with bacteria to have a genetically identical bacterial colony so they can test different things on one type of bacteria. Making observations on that one colony is valuable for visual research and identification of that microorganism.
