1 The Art of Streaking (For Isolation) Course Medical Microbiology Unit V Microorganisms Essential Question How do you streak an agar plate in order to isolate individual colonies of bacteria? TEKS A, 1B, 2A-H,3D, 4C,E,F Prior Student Learning Basic understanding of bacteria Estimated time 4-6 hours Rationale To identify microorganisms from a lab specimen it is necessary to isolate individual colonies. Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, the student will be able to Describe media and its function in bacterial growth Become familiar with and perform the quadrant streaking method for bacterial cell plating Streak an agar plate to isolate bacterial colonies Engage Before the lesson is to be taught, streak an agar plate with bacteria from the doorknob of the classroom. Show the class the bacteria that have grown on the agar plate. What do you notice about the plate? Are they all the same type of bacteria? What makes the areas of growth different from each other? What are some ways we could group the different areas of growth? Key Points I. Key terms A. Agar is a nutrient medium or culture medium that is commonly used to culture bacteria in the lab. Agar is also called AGAR- AGAR, a gelatin-like product made primarily from red algae and brown algae (e.g., kelps); Kingdom Protista) B. Broth liquid nutrient- rich medium used for cultivating microorganisms C. Inoculating loop made of platinum or wire used to streak, smear or take a sample from a culture D. Streaking a petri dish is streaked in manner such that individual colonies may be isolated E. Microbial growth increase in numbers, not increase in size F. Culture medium nutrients prepared for microbial growth G. Inoculum microbes introduced into a medium to initiate growth H. Culture microbes growing in/on culture medium
2 I. Colony population of cells arising from a single cell or spores or group of attached cells J. Solid medium media containing agar or some other, mostly inert solidifying agent K. Culture medium solution containing all of the nutrients and necessary physical growth parameters necessary for microbial growth II. Streak Plate Method Spreads the colonies throughout four quadrants in such a way that the fourth quadrant will have the least amount of bacteria within it, therefore isolating colonies. III. The Pour plate and Spread Plate methods of isolation A. Pour plate bacteria are inoculated into a tube of melted agar cooled to a temperate of 45 degrees C to 47 degrees C, mixed, and poured into a sterile petri plate B. Spread plate -- liquid cultures are spread on the center of an agar surface using a bent sterile glass rod IV. Use of specialized media A. Selective media -- media that suppresses the growth of some microorganisms while allowing the growth of others B. Differential media are designed to separate organisms based on type of growth or end products of metabolic reactions C. Enrichment media -- used to increase the relative concentration of certain microorganisms in the culture prior to plating on solid selective medium V. Streaking procedure A. Hold the inoculating loop handle in one hand as you would a pencil; hold the agar plate in the opposite hand B. Open the lid of the agar plate enough to insert the swab and spread the inoculum over the surface of one quadrant of the agar plate; do not streak over previously streaked lines C. Flame and cool the inoculating loop D. Turn the plate so section two is in position; streak the second quadrant of the plate by touching the loop into the first quadrant and streaking all the way across the second quadrant, making six to eight strokes E. Flame and cool the loop F. Streak the third quadrant by touching the loop into the second quadrant and streaking into the third quadrant, making six to eight
3 strokes G. Flame and cool the loop H. Streak the fourth quadrant in a manner to produce isolated colonies; touch the loop to the third quadrant and spread the organism into the fourth quadrant using a continuous streak in a tornado pattern (Decrease the width of the streaks horizontally and increase the distance between the streaks vertically) I. Flame and cool the loop Activity I. Complete the Streaking an Agar Plate Vocabulary II.

(2000). Microbiology for the Health Sciences, 6 th ed. New York: Lippincott, Williams, & Wilkins. Accommodations for Learning Differences For reinforcement, the student will review the steps of the streaking technique and repeat the laboratory investigation. For enrichment, the student will swab their own skin with 4 sterile swabs and inoculate a blood, chocolate, MacConkey and CNA plate and evaluate their streaking technique.
