Prevention

The best way to have clean plates is to never put contaminants in there to begin with. The way we germinate and select viable colonies can prevent the enmeshed bacterial contamination we fight with. Reckless spore streaking and wanton scalpel work brings along the very thing we don't want.

What we want to do is thin down the concentration of cells allowing for separation of growth. Separation facilitates isolation. Without the proper separation between cells, one risks growing the mycelium on top of yeasts, bacteria, and molds from the very start, making it incredibly difficult to isolate a pure culture free from contamination. That goal being difficult when starting with spores because of their nature, we can still minimize the amount of crap we take out of our germination plates on our first transfers by using proper streaking techniques.

I have seen the pulling threads technique, but I could see it getting stuck to the tweezers.

I guess I'll just try a bunch of different ways.
