A control in an agar plate is the left over spot where you have put no bacteria swabs on, that way when the bacterias have grown you can see if the bacterias spread onto the control, or if the control stayed disinfected.
it lets the bacteria grow
to inoculate an agar plate you would place bacteria on the agar to grow
MacConkey Agar plate
Yes. S. aureus can grow on TSA plate because this plate is general purpose medium and has most nutrient for bacteria growth.
There are areas on the agar plate where no bacteria grow because that area was missed when the plate was streaked.
before bacterial culture, the media containing agar i.e. solid agar should dry in the incubator, that is prewarm agar plate.
to determine and test its growth rate at room temperature and body temperature as a control plate.

MacConkey Agar plate
It is called a streak plate, inoculating the agar plate with a zig-zag motion.
It is the area on an agar plate where growth of a control organism is prevented by an antibiotic usually placed on the agar surface. If the test organism is susceptable to the antibiotic, it will not grow where the antibioitic is.
Yes. S. aureus can grow on TSA plate because this plate is general purpose medium and has most nutrient for bacteria growth.
To make it semi-solid
There are areas on the agar plate where no bacteria grow because that area was missed when the plate was streaked.
Agar is used to culture bacteria for scientific research.
How do colonies on the surface of a pour plate differ from those suspended in the agar?
