Question

1. What is the main purpose of a T-streak

To generate larger amts of bacteria for production purposes

To get isolated colonies

To observe colony characteristics

To get viable cell counts

can someone help me with this

2. Before starting a purity plate, you can ensure you have a pure culture if (check all that apply)

all the colonies are convex but different colors

you use cells from only one colony as an inoculum source

the inoculum contained only gram-positive cocci

all the colonies are the same color but different size

1)T streak is the qualitative isolating method.It is used for the isolation of discreate colonies in the inoculum being reduced.

PURPOSE OF T STREAK

To get isolated colonies (seperate organism in a mixed culture)

To observe colony characterstics (to identify bacteria)

To generate large amount of bacteria and to get viable cell counts are the methods of spread plating technique.

2)Before starting a purity plate, you can ensure you have pure culture if

>you use cells from only one colony as a innoculum source(this will ensures that all cells will be identical.)
