A media which is used to inoculate the bacterium for the culture is a inoculation media. Based on the bacteria, one can use LB media or nutrient broth or any other special media for this. The goal is to let the bacterium grow well from the inoculation culture or colony.

What is an inoculation chamber?
Inoculating chamber or inoculation chamber is used to a place free from microorganism where we transfer medium and inoculation. This utilized for transferring tissues and other tissue culture work.
Why do you use an inoculating loop instead of a needle to make the transfer from the culture plates to the culture tubes?
Because the solid media is more dense over a smaller area so a inoculating needle is used to retrieve the specimen. Where as for a liquid medium the specimen is more spread out over the liquid. The inoculating loop can collect more liquid because there is more metal present at the inoculating specimen retrieval point and has the ability to collect liquid in the loop. I'm currently taking general microbiology and my lab book hardly covers this. A.C.
Why did you use an inoculating loop instead of a needle to make the transfers from the culture plates to the culture tubes?
A inoculating loop is used for transfers from culture plates to culture tubes instead of the inoculating needle because the needle could puncture the agar in tube. The loop is much easier as well to get liquid amount into the tube.
Why should use an inoculating needle when making smears from a solid media?
You should use an inoculating needle when making smears from solid media because of the solid's density. The smaller areas are denser, so it is easier to retrieve these specimens using an inoculating needle.
What is agar stab?
culture is stabbed deeply into the agar using an inoculating needle....
When inoculating agar deep stabs why do you have to insert and remove the needle along the same stab line?
To minimize the introduction of unwanted oxygen into the medium.
What are the uses of the Inoculating Loop?
Inoculating loops are used to transfer microorganisms to growth media or for staining slides. They are an important part of the sterile technique as their use permits transfer only of the material of interest.
What are other inoculating instruments aside from needle?
Air gun and inoculating loop are some of the another inoculating instruments. The air gun is used to squirt thin stream of vaccine.

How inoculating needle use?
Inoculating needle is used like a pen. Hold it like you hold a pen. Inoculating loop and a needle is mainly used to pick a single colony(pure) so u need to be gentle on the agar. practice using an inoculating needle on a paper with pen.
What are the release dates for Inoculating Hubby - 1916?
Inoculating Hubby - 1916 was released on: USA: 13 October 1916
What is an inoculating needle used for?
An inoculating needle is used in a microbiology lab to collect microorganisms from a culture and move them to a petri dish.

Why does observation of streak plate culture show more growth in Quadrant 4 than in Quadrant 3?
Concentration of the inoculating microorganisms in Q3 is higher, which may delete the nutritional capacity of the medium faster than in Q4. Respectively, that will result in higher population in Q4 over Q3.
Why should you let the inoculating loop cool first before and after using it?
The inoculating tube is cooled before use so that the organism is not killed by extensive heat.
Explain why a false positive reaction result can be obtained with Koser's citrate medium?
If carbon sources, or nutrients, are carried over into the citrate medium, it will result in a false positive. To avoid this, dilute the inoculum in saline before inoculating the citrate medium.
