Experiment: Agar Plate Preparation and Bacterial Inoculation
Post-Lab Questions:
1. Draw the colonies that grew on your plates, indicating the number of different colonies and identifying their morphology, color, edges, texture, and pattern of growth.
2. Which plate grew the most bacterial species (based on number of different colonies)? Was this a surprise? Why or why not?
3. Was the control plate (plate #4) free of bacterial colonies? If not, what could be the source of the contamination?
4. Did the airborne contamination plate (plate #5) contain any growth? Were any of the colonies similar in appearance to those found on the other plates? How does this plate demonstrate the need for following aseptic technique when culturing bacteria?
