Media Types
•

•
•
General Purpose Media:
• Supports the growth of many microorganisms
• i.e. Luria Agar
Enriched Media:
• Has special nutrients to encourage the growth of fastidious
heterotrophs
• i.e. Blood Agar
Selective Media:
• Favors the growth of one type of microorganisms and inhibits the
growth of others
• Luria + penicillin Agar
Differential Media:
• Distinguishes between different groups of bacteria on the basis of
biochemical characteristics
• i.e. Eosin Methylene Blue Agar

•
Microscope (with accessories)
inoculation loops
source of flame (Bunsen burner)
Microscope slides and Cover slips
Gram staining kits (can purchase from science supply store)
Petri dishes and proper growth media
incubators

Clorox bleach, like you buy at the supermarket, diluted to 5-10% is the
best cleaning agent for labs.

Microorganism Isolation
Techniques
• Using an Inoculating Loop
• Streaking Methods

How to hold an Inoculating Loop

Streaking and Flaming
Procedure
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Flame the loop to sterilize it and let cool.
Position the plate so that the spot of inoculum is nearest the hand not holding
the loop (the opposite hand).
Lift the plate lid with the opposite hand; just enough to get the loop inside and
touch the loop to the inoculum spot. It is often helpful to treat the inoculating
loop as if it were a pencil - steadying the loop by resting the heel of the hand
against the lab bench.
Move the loop back and forth across the spot and then gradually continue toward
the center of the plate as you sweep back and forth. Use a very gentle and even
pressure.
When creating each phase, do not worry about keeping each pass across the
plate separate from previous ones.
When about 30% of the plate has been covered by the first streaking phase,
remove the loop and flame sterilize it.
Repeat the above procedure for the second phase, but this time pick up some
inoculum by crossing into the first phase 2-3 times and then not passing into it
again (Figure 1-5).
Repeat as necessary for the third and fourth phases. After streaking the plate,
flame sterilize the loop before setting it down.

Procedure for Making a
‘Smear’
• Using aseptic technique remove a colony from a plate or cells from

your slant. Be carefully to gently touch the surface of your culture
with the inoculating loop.
Make a circular motion in the middle of the circle to spread the cells
equally in this region of the slide
Add a drop of water in the middle
Mix again
Let Air dry
Run the slide through the flame until the slide is warm ( The frosted
side should be down) This fixes the bacteria to the slide
Let the slide cool
Place in the metal tray or in the rack

Microorganisms to a Slant

1. Wrap fingers of non dominant hand around the culture tube containing broth for transfer
2. Using the pinkie finger of your dominant hand twist the red cap from the tube. Hold in
your pinkie and do not place it on the counter
3. Pass the mouth of the culture tube across the flame
4. Direct the inoculating needle into the broth.
5. Flame the mouth of your broth culture tube and replace the cap. Place it in your rack
6. Pick up the slant in your non dominant hand
7. Twist off the red cap
8. Flame the mouth of the slant tube
9. Direct the inoculating needle into the tube and “ stab” the agar in the base( butt)
10. Withdraw on the entry line and when you reach the surface make a simple streak along
the face.
11. Flame the mouth of the tube and replace the cap.
12. Flame your inoculating needle and replace in your rack.

Steps for Transfer of Broth to Broth
Hold loop or needle with dominant hand( right )
Flame the loop
Hold culture tube in left hand
Remove red cap with pinkie of right hand
Flame mouth of culture tube
Place loop into broth( water)
Flame mouth of culture tube and close
Open culture tube with broth( should be labeled)
Dip loop into new broth and mix
Flame mouth of tube and close
Flame loop
Place to the side of your rack

Stains and Staining
• Bacteria are slightly negatively charged at
pH 7.0
 Basic dye stains bacteria

Acidic dye stains background
• Simple stain
 Aqueous or alcohol solution of single
basic dye
20
Procedure for Simple Stains
21
Differential Stains
• Gram stain






Crystal violet: primary stain
Iodine: mordant
Alcohol or acetone-alcohol:
Safranin decolourizer :
counterstain
Gram positive: purple
Gram negative: pink-red
Staphylococcus aureus
Escherichia coli
22
Differential Stains
• Acid-fast stain

Used to detect Mycobacterium
species
23
Procedure for Gram Stain
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
All staining work is to be done at the sink
Care should be taken to work directly over the sink
Place 1 drop of crystal violet stain on the smear ( 1 minute)
Rock or roll the slide to cover the area
Use the water bottle to drip water down the slide
Place 1 drop of iodine on the slide ( 1 minute)
Place 1 drop of alcohol on the slide 10 seconds ( KEY – do not leave on longer
than 10 seconds or it will decolorize)
Place 1 drop of saffranin on the slide for 1 minute
Rinse with water from the bottle
Let the slide air dry

Safety in the
Microbiology Lab
An Introduction to Principles and
Practices at
Biosafety Levels 1, 2, 3, & 4
28
Microorganism
Categories
• How are microorganisms categorized?
 By genetics to show how they are
related
 By tissues they infect to show how they
cause disease
 By pathogenicity and communicability
(also known as their BioSafety Level)
29
Guidelines for
Microorganism Use
• Besides federal law and regulations
other guidelines exist for the use and
control of microorganisms:



CDC/NIH Biosafety in Microbiological and
Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL)
WHO (World Health Organization)
Biosafety Manual
USDA (United States Department of
Agriculture) protocols
30
Guidelines for
Microorganism Use
The microbes are placed into 4
categories called :
Biosafety Levels (BSL 1-4)
31
BSL Labs
• Microbiology Laboratories are set
up and maintained to meet a
specific containment level. The
designated level conveys
information about infection
potential and engineering controls
implemented to protect workers.
32

adults
Associated with human disease, hazard =

membrane exposure
Indigenous or exotic agents with potential for
aerosol transmission; disease may have serious or
lethal consequences
