Spread plate technique is a method employed to plate a liquid sample for the purpose of isolating or counting the bacteria present in that sample. A perfect spread plate technique will results visible and isolated colonies of bacteria that are evenly distributed in the plate and are countable. The technique is most commonly applied for microbial testing of foods or any other samples or to isolate and identify variety of microbial flora present in the environmental samples e.g. To get optimum result from spread plate technique students must be careful. • To make accurate dilutions using pipettes (master serial dilution technique).

Many students have difficulties with dilution theory, particularly with serial dilutions. One ml of a turbid culture evenly over the surface of a nutrient agar plate, you would evenly. The buffer is called 'TE (pH 8.0)', and consists of 10 mM Tris-HCl, a pH. What are the advantages / disadvantages of each method?

Igru tank 2000 uljtimatum. 'You can ridicule my clothes, but not what I paid for them,' said a laughing A-Rod. The graceful Rodriguez, who dazzles you with his baseball skills and movie-star looks, and the classy hitting machine Edgar Martinez are in the cubicles across the aisle from Griffey and Buhner. Buhner needled A-Rod, asking how much he paid. Mix in catcher Dan 'The Quiet Man' Wilson, a stabalizing force who doesn't seek center stage in the M's Comedy Clubhouse, and you're talking about a Party of Five that'll be hard to replace. Griffey quickly grabbed a pair of sunglasses and said, 'They're not too bad as long as you protect your eyes.'

• To apply a balanced spread technique using a glass spreader to spread the inoculum evenly on the agar surface. • To respect the necessary “short” time interval between agar inoculation and spreading. In this method the substance to be tested if not in liquid form,is grinded and dissolved in suitable liquid medium. The sample is then diluted in 10 fold serial dilutions and plated in appropriate medium. Following incubation the number of colonies present in the plate are counted.

Assuming that each organism gives a single colony the number of total bacteria present in a sample are calculated. Requirements: • Glasswares: screw capped test tubes, sterile pipettes, glass spreader • Medium: Plate count agar or Procedure for Spread Plate Technique: A: Serial Dilution. • Prepare a series of at least 6 test tubes containing 9 ml of sterile distilled water. • Using a sterile pipette,add 1ml of sample in the first tube of the set. Label it as 10 -1 • Mix the contents well by swirling the tube upside down few times. • From the first tube, take 1ml of the sample and transfer to second tube.

Label it as 10 -2. • Repeat the procedure with all the remaining tubes labeling them until 10 -6. Plating • Pipette out 0.1 ml from the appropriate desired dilution series onto the center of the surface of an agar plate.

• Dip the L-shaped glass spreader (hockey stick) into alcohol. • Flame the glass spreader over a bunsen burner. • Spread the sample evenly over the surface of agar using the sterile glass spreader, carefully rotating the Petri dish underneath at an angle of 45 oat the same time. • Incubate the plate at 37°C for 24 hours.

• Calculate the conlony forming units (CFU) value of the sample. Once you count the colonies, multiply by the appropriate dilution factor to determine the number of CFU/mL in the original sample. Calculation of result: CFU/ml = (no. Crack do soldiers ludzie honoru chomikuj gry psp 2. Of colonies x dilution factor) / volume of culture plate For example, suppose the plate of the 10^6 dilution yielded a count of 130 colonies.
