Lab 14: Bacteria
Preparing bottles for Autoclaving
We will talk more thoroughly about this in class, just pay attention to how she prepares the bottle. You'll use glass to make media.
-Pouring plates
This video was made for a remote learning. Microwaving can also sufficiently sterilize media, but autoclaving is preferable. The rest of the video is still relevant, and even the microwaving can be useful. You can stop at the gels, but we will do that in the future too.
Plating Bacteria
Similarly, the video refers to plating a transformation, however it applies to seawater too. Watch it for the technique. You will be plating transformations in the future too.
