There are hydrophobic amino acids and hydrophilic amino acids in protein molecules. After protein folding in aqueous solution, hydrophobic amino acids usually form protected hydrophobic areas while hydrophilic amino acids interact with the molecules of solvation and allow proteins to form hydrogen bonds with the surrounding water molecules. If enough of the protein surface is hydrophilic, the protein can be dissolved in water.

When the salt concentration is increased, some of the water molecules are attracted by the salt ions, which decreases the number of water molecules available to interact with the charged part of the protein. As a result of the increased demand for solvent molecules, the protein-protein interactions are stronger than the solvent-solute interactions; the protein molecules coagulate by forming hydrophobic interactions with each other. This process is known as salting out.

Is streaking for isolation and streaking for antibiotic sensitivities uses the same technique for streaking?

Yes, both streaking for isolation and streaking for antibiotic sensitivities use the same basic streaking technique. However, the purpose and method of interpretation are different. Streaking for isolation is to obtain pure colonies of a microorganism, while streaking for antibiotic sensitivities is to test the susceptibility of the microorganism to specific antibiotics.

What is the mechanism of salting out?

Salting out is a method where high concentrations of a salt, such as ammonium sulfate, are added to a solution to reduce the solubility of proteins or other molecules. This causes the proteins to aggregate and precipitate out of the solution, allowing for their separation. The salt ions compete with the protein for water molecules, leading to decreased solubility and precipitation.
