The strain isolation dotpoint!!! (1 Viewer)

[incredible]

HEY GUYS!
coudl someone just clarify in rundown form, the strain isolation methods developed in the 50s
Is it that streaking the agar plate and using discs of filter paper
and also changing growth mediums to produce a range of antibiotics and locate mutations and isolate them???

basically strain isolation methods have enabled scientists to grow and 'isolate' a clean strain of a particular gene without running the risk of contaimination. methods as u said that can be used to do this include the agar plates. without the invention of such methods, substances such as penicillin would cease to exist.
good luck
in my trial i got 23/25 for my biotechnology section.
