Petri dish
contains nutrient broth
Ager gel
On ager gel plate bacteria grow divisible colonies
Preparing Culture MUST prevent contamination
1 sterilise all petri dishes bacterial nutrient broth agar
kills
any unwanted microorganisms
2 Sterilise inoculating loop by passing it through Bunsenflame
then transfer bacteria into culture
3 attach lid of Petri dish with adhesive tape
stops lid from falling unwanted microorganisms entering
4 place agar plate UPSIDE DOWN into incubator

colonies
Temperature
C
in school labs normally incubate bacteria at 25
reduces chances of harmful bacteria growing
