I need help. I have searched the web for information of bacterial plate cultures but I cant really find anything. If you could refer me to a good website or explain it to me that would be great. Thank you so much.
My question is posted below.
Search the web, find, and examine large images of any two bacterial plate cultures, and describe the colonies seen in respect to shape, color, colony margins, and colony surface characteristics. You might find the following terms useful for your description:
Species: Record the name of the species.
Colony Shape: Irregular, round, filamentous – i.e., loose strands
Colony Margins: Smooth, curled, wavy, lobate – i.e. with lobes, filamentous
Colony Surface Characteristics: smooth, wrinkled, concentric, contoured
Color or pigmentation: note any color seen.
