Spread-plate method Solid agar Incubate Culture, diluted as needed Bacterial colonies 0.1-0.2 mL appear only on surface. Spread cells onto surface of pre-poured solid agar. Pour-plate method 0.1-1.0 mL Melted cooled agar Incubate FIGURE 4.18 Spread Plates and Pour Plates Some colonies appear on surface; many are below surface. These techniques can be used for plate counts. Add melted cooled agar and swirl gently to mix.
