Streaking One drop of bacterial solution contains millions of cells. To identify a species, individual strains have to be grown separately, starting from a single cell. The most commonly used method to isolate strain originating from a single cell is called the streaking method. There are several different ways to streak a plate. Figure 1: Streaking pattern on the agar plate. The colored lines indicate the path of the wire loop.

Microbial Isolation

Isolation of the microorganisms in microbiology is the process of developing a pure culture by separating one species of microbe from a mixture of many other species. A pure culture is a culture that contains only one species of microbe.
