  1. STREAKING AN AGAR PLATE FOR ISOLATION OF BACTERIAL COLONIES

  2. STREAKING FOR ISOLATION • 1.Using a sterile cotton swab, insert it into your bacteria culture.

  3. STREAKING FOR ISOLATION • 2. Place a small amount of specimen in quadrant one of your agar plate.

  4. STREAKING FOR ISOLATION • 3.Hold the inoculating loop handle in one hand and the agar plate in the opposite hand.

  5. STREAKING FOR ISOLATION • 4. Streak quadrant one with numerous streak lines as indicated on your handout. Streak lines close together. Do not streak over previous lines.

  6. STREAKING FOR ISOLATION • 5. Turn the plate to quadrant two. Pass through quadrant one with the inoculating loop ONCE to obtain some of the inoculum. Streak quadrant two as quadrant one was streaked.

  7. STREAKING FOR ISOLATION • 6. Streak quadrant three as quadrant two was streaked, taking one pass through quadrant two.

  8. STREAKING FOR ISOLATION • 7. Turn the agar plate to quadrant four. Obtain a small amount of quadrant three and place a streak line ONCE through quadrant four. This quadrant should run into the middle of the plate.

  9. STREAKING FOR ISOLATION • 8. Incubate the agar plate at 37C for 24 to 48 hours. Successfully isolation of colonies will be obtained!
