Drigalskys methodThe process of isolation and identification of pure
culture of microorganism belonging to aerobes orfacultative anaerobes consists of three stages: I stage. Inoculation of agar plate: The streak plate is
used primarily for isolating microorganisms in pureculture from specimens containing a mixed flora.
Incubation. II stage. Obtaining isolated colonies on platespermits a study of cultural characteristics. Each typeof isolated colony should be stained for studyingcellular morphology (Gram method etc.) andinoculated on solid agar slant. Incubation.
III stage. Identification of isolated pure culture ismade by examining morphology of microorganismsand studying their morphological, staining, cultural,biochemical, antigenic and virulent properties andsusceptibility to phages, chemical substrates,antibiotics etc.

II stage of Drigalsky method
Cultural characteristics of bacteria are described as follows: Shape: Circular, irregular, radiate or rhizoid. Surfaces: Smooth, rough, fine or coarsely granular, papillate, glistening,
etc. Size: Surface of colony is measured in millimeter. Elevation: Raised, low convex dome, umblicate. Some bacteria produce
spreading growth (for example, Proteus). Edges: Entire, crenated, fimbriated or effuse. Colour: Some microorganisms may produce pigmented colonies. Opacity: Colonies on nutrient agar may be transparent, translucent or
opaque. Consistency: Colonies may be hard or firm, friable and membranous, soft
and butyrous. Changes in the medium: Some microorganisms produce beta type of
hemolysis around the colony on blood agar. Few bacteria producesoluble pigment that diffuses into the medium.
Emulsifiability: easily or not.

Biochemical identification:Kligler agar
The Kligler's iron agar is a test tube thatcontains agar, a pH-sensitive dye (phenol red),1% lactose, 0.1% glucose, as well as sodiumthiosulfate and ferrous sulfate or ferrous
ammonium sulfate. All of these ingredients are mixed together and
allowed to solidify in the test tube at a slantedangle. The slanted shape of this mediumprovides an array of surfaces that are eitherexposed to oxygen-containing air in varyingdegrees (an aerobicenvironment) or notexposed to air (an anaerobicenvironment).

The growth of a bacterial culture can be represented by acurve that consists of four stages or phases:
Lag phase - growth and reproduction are just beginning
Log phase - reproduction is occurring at an exponential rateStationary phase - environmental surroundings and food
supply cannot support any more exponential growthDeath phase - when all of the nutrients have been exhausted,
the population dies off

Total count of bacteria:changes in turbidity can be measured to assess growth of bacteria in
clear medias / broth. This can be conducted using aspectrophotometer or a tubidometer and provides rapid data. Opticaltechniques however, do not typically differentiate between live anddead cells. The standards of turbidity are presented on the photo.

Viable count of bacteria
(standard plate count)The SPC (standard plate count) is still the single
most common method of enumerating cells. A precisevolume of liquid (media / sample) containing the cells is
placed on the surface of an agar-containing petri plate.The plate is incubated (typically >24 hours) and the plateis counted for colonies. Each colony is assumed to bederived from a single bacterial cell - allowing themicrobiologist to relate the number of colonies (CFU -
colony forming unit) and dilution factors to determine theoriginal number of organisms in the sample. This isusually expressed as CFU / ml (colony forming units permilliliter).
