To minimise condensation on the lid of the Petri dish.
Because too much heat can kill bacteria. Think of pasteurised milk - the pasteurising process involves rapid heating and cooling to kill off any bacteria that might be present in the milk.
The pH depends on the temperature.
"Cooled boiled water" refers to water that has been boiled and then allowed to come to room temperature before consumption. Boiling the water helps to kill any harmful bacteria or organisms that may be present, making it safe to drink. By allowing it to cool, the water is then suitable for use in various applications, such as cooking or drinking.
The soup was correctly cooled by being transferred to a shallow container and placed in an ice water bath before being stored in the refrigerator to ensure rapid cooling and prevent bacterial growth.
In pour plate technique the culture to be grwon is pour in melted agar medium, now when we add the diluted sample in agar plate and if the melted agar is very hot, it can lead to the damage of bacterial or fungal cell and may cause in abruption of growth, so the agar is cooled to get the optimum temp. for growth of microbial cell.
The purpose of heating the inoculating materials before and after using them is for sterilization. They must be sterilized before to kill any bacteria already on them so that they do not contaminate anything during use, and they must be sterilized after to get off the bacteria contacted from use.
The inoculating tube is cooled before use so that the organism is not killed by extensive heat.
To avoid killing the test subjects before the test can begin.
Because it is. face it
The agar will solidify and form a gel-like substance in the nutrient broth. This agar-nutrient mixture is used as a solid medium for growing and isolating bacteria in a laboratory setting.
To avoid killing the test subjects before the test can begin.

Yes, from what I have heard and read. Moving hot food to a cold refrigerator can cause bacteria to form and grow rapidly. The food should be cooled to room temperature before refrigerating.
a solid medium
It depends how long it was left at room temperature before being refrigerated. It is, surprisingly, a food with a high risk of carrying food poisoning bacteria, as it can hold the bacteria at slightly-higher-than-room-temperature (their optimum breeding temperature) for longer than many other foods. Once cooled, the bacteria are still there.
an innoculated loop shouln't be hot. it should be cooled before contact with the organism by touching it off the edge of the agar or dipped into the top of the broth. if its hot it will kill the organism!
Actimel is made by adding specific strains of bacteria (especially Lactobacillus casei) to pasteurized milk. This mixture is then fermented to allow the bacteria to grow and produce lactic acid. After fermentation, the product is cooled down, and any additional flavors or ingredients are added before packaging.
