Welcome to our suite of NUI Galway Microbiology teaching videos. We hope that they will guide you in performing your experiments in a scientific and safe manner. This video describes how to perform a spread plate technique, another method routinely used in microbiology laboratories.
A liquid sample is plated onto a general purpose agar to enable the bacteria in the sample to be counted or isolated.
A perfect spread plate technique will yield visible, isolated bacterial colonies that are distributed throughout the plate.
