... Practical report Microbial techniques Introduction I will do three different practical experiments to investigate the growth and isolation of bacteria and the characteristics of different microbes. They are: * Pouring * Streaking * Environment Pouring plates Pouring plates can be used to investigate if bacteria can grow on a solidified nutrient agar by following the aseptic techniques carefully. The aseptic techniques used were: * Flaming the neck of the bottle by passing the opening through a Bunsen burner * The lid of the bottle is opened using the small finger of the other hand during procedure to avoid placing the lid on the bench, where it can be contaminated Apparatus Bunsen burner Bottle containing a nutrient agar Petridish Matches Method 1. Remove the bottle containing molten nutrient agar from the hot water. Allow the liquid agar to cool down. 2. light the Bunsen burner and adjust it to blue flame 3. Open the bottle with little finger
