sterile petri plates

In the research field, sterile Petri plates are an indispensable tool in microbiology. Microbiology - the study of bacteria, fungi and viruses that are too small to be seen without a microscope. Petri Plates: Scientists use petri plates to grow these little poo munchkins so they can learn more about them. Keep reading to learn: Why sterile petri plates are so essential How scientists handle them in the lab What needs to be taken care of for these dishes or rodent cage racks.

Micro and biologists must have a sterile environment to multiply organisms. The safer place they are looking for lies on sterile petri plates. Problems arise, though: When scientists try to grow microorganisms on a plate so that they can study it in the lab (or catalogue an entire community of them), and get other plants growing alongside their sample. This involves ensuring that the plates are devoid of other life forms which may potentially out compete the microorganisms under study. As these little buddies grow on the sterile plates, we can begin to observe them and learn about their behavior, where they live... how do behave/the way of being with each other...and interact/another in your environment.

Ensuring Effective Microbial Growth

Petri plates must be sterile in order to encourage microorganisms to grow well. A Petri plate is sterile if there are no other living things of it. If another microbe lives on the spot, that bug may hog the food and space scientists had been hoping to give their study subjects. Often resulting is incorrect data, causing the scientist to learn false facts. Microbiologists use a special machine called an autoclave to sterilize petri plates. This machine uses super high and hot pressure to destroy everything that is alive in the plates. Petri plates must be handled with care to avoid contamination once they come out of the autoclave.

Petri plates are critical laboratory supplies when scientists need to culture bacteria. These plates provide scientists a way to grow one species of bacteria at the time. That is known as single colonies, which one comes from only mother cell. Scientists can get to know more about a specific type of bacteria on studying just one colony. For instance they could watch it grow, what enables the it to survive and different responses from various surroundings. This information is crucial for myriad fields of research, such as medicine and environmental studies.
