Agar from MS syringe question
    #26637162 - 04/29/20 04:24 PM (4 years, 8 months ago)

I would like sort of a vote if possible on the preferred method BETWEEN THESE TWO (I know a lot of people do streaking). Using a MS syringe on agar:

1. 3 drops on the petri dish in a triangular pattern

2. 1 drop in the center, followed by tilting the dish slightly causing the drop to run towards the edge (but not touching it).

Thank you!

I havent actually used agar with an MS syringe yet, but I was always told just one drip in the middle and no tilting the dish

If I may ask, what is the actual advantage in introducing a new potential contamination vector (meaning the inoculation loop) just to get the droplet to do a zig-zag pattern?

To spread it out which won't be a vector if you flame sterilize the loop first.

Honestly the MS syringe is gonna be your biggest potential vector

:whathesaid:

When you streak the spores you should see germination in the zig zag pattern of the streak and have a much easier time distinguishing clean germination from things like mold colonies + bacteria.

If you are going to be working with agar, you are going to have to get used to opening the lid and using tools like inoculation loops and scalpels to swipe and make transfers.

Assuming it's a well shaken syringe, as little as possible, one drop in the center with as little liquid as possible seems the best to me. just my 2¢

I used to do a drop in the center. Streaking is 10x better.

The draw back to leaving the drop in the center is that now everything is going to grow in a big mass ..contams included.

Always best to spread it out for visibility reasons.

You can, but I find a loop just spreads it better

I tried to, but it's a bit more tricky. You can make a loop from materials you probably have at home in a minute.

You definitely want to take transfers of myc that haven't grown into/over or collided with bacteria/mold colonies.

I have had bacterial cultures before , they get this strange puffy look (not tomentose). Man it's hard to explain I wish I still had some photos
