HELP!!Why should you spread the 10-5 plate first followed by the 10-4 plate etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are 10-5 and 10-4 plate? im guessing ur asking about spreading bacteria for isolation?

OpenStudy (xanthe):

yes

OpenStudy (xanthe):

Its basically from the most dilute to the least dilute, so why is it that way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well in a culture of bacteria, there is alot of bacteria in the solution. plating technique helps make it easier to isolate the bacteria and conduct tests to determine the identification of the unknown in a sample.
