Abstract
To make a suspension of bacterial colonies by removing them from the surface of culture media, using a wire loop, is often difficult. In using a wire loop for this purpose the growth generally slides over the wire of the loop, and the complete removal of all surface growth is thus rendered both difficult and time-consuming.
