Agar smell bad?
    #27468866 - 09/15/21 02:26 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ok so i have some plates in a mini sterilite and they are about a month old now.  Most are fully colonized.
But when i opened my container that holds my plates it smelled really bad kinda like garbage. Is that normal?

These plates have no obvious contam that i can see.

Hmmm then i wonder if some are possibly contaminated?
Or maybe my nose just does not like the way agar smells.
I think my use of the word garbage may have been a little extreme lol
It just smells funny to me idk?

Thanks for your input either way

The smell is bacteria. There is no need to even look at it really. Arm pits stink? That is bacteria. Practically all foul smells are bacteria.

What others have said, trust your nose.  Agar fouling is familiar to just about all other fouling foods/trash you've experienced in your life. If you can't imagine someone would eat it, it's bad.

That second pic doesn't look terrible to transfer from (bacteria near the center it appears). Check your sterile practice and do a couple of transfers. All of the others look really messy IMO.
