put agar in a Petri dish, then use a Q-tip to wipe a dirty surface, then spread it on the Petri dish in a zigzag motion, then it will grow over time.

What equipment can be used to grow bacteria?
Agar and petri dishes.
What the most common way to grow bacteria is?
The most common way to grow bacteria is in an agar petri dish. The bacteria are usually placed by a swab into the petri dish and incubated for a predetermined period of time (The agar serves as a food source for the bacteria). Then, growth, or no growth, of bacteria will be observed.
Is there an explanation of why bacteria from one different swabbed object will grow more colonies on a petri dish than another?
It could be the medium in the Petri dish in which the different bacteria grow. It could also be the swabbing technique.
What is the container used for growing mold or bacteria called?
the containor used for growing mold and bacteria is the PETRI DISH. a lot of people use agar as the gel to grow mold and bacteria
What is used to grow colonies of bacteria away from open air contaminants?
A Petri dish is commonly used to grow bacteria, because it is sealed and sterile.
What equipment can be used to grow bacteria?
Agar and petri dishes.
Can you use blood to grow bacteria on petridishes?
Bacteria will grow in blood but no the growing medium in petri dishes should be clear agar.
What instruments would you use to grow bacteria?
A petri dish.See the Related Questions for more information.
Functions of petri dish?
- to contain a substance, generally a solid - to dry a substance in an oven - in microbiology, to contain a bacteria culture
What are the uses of petri dishes?
is a shallow cylindrical glass or plastic lidded dish that biologists use to culture cells - such as bacteria - or small mosses.
What scientific instrument can grow bacteria and has a lid?
a petri dish
Why does fungi grow in petri dishes of fruit juices while trying to germinate seeds?
The fruit juice is contaminated with fungi spores. This causes the fungi to grow in the petri dishes of fruit juices while trying to germinate seeds.
What laboratory apparatus will determine if a bacteria is alive or not?
One method is a petri dish because the bacteria would grow or not grow in a warm environment. Or a microscope because you could see any activity of the bacteria.

Who is the father of Antibiotics?
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, the first antibiotic. He discovered it by accident when he noticed that some petri dishes (medium to grow bacteria) had been contaminated -- some mold was growing in them, and around the area of the mold the bacteria wouldn't grow.
