Method for growing monocultures
Abstract
Abstract A METHOD FOR GROWING MONOCULTURES WHEREIN A STRIP OF A NUTRIENT MATERIAL COVERED BY A PROTECTIVE FILM IS INOCULATED WITH MICRO-ORGANISMS BY REMOVING A PORTION OF THE FILM FROM THE STRIP, INOCULATING THE FILM WITH THE MICROORGANISMS, SPREADING THE MICRO-ORGANISMS TO SEPARATE THEM FROM EACH OTHER, AND MOVING THE INOCULATED FILM BACK INTO CONTACT WITH THE STRIP TO CAUSE THE SEPARATED MICRO-ORGANISMS TO BE TRANSFERRED ONTO THE SAME. THE SPREADING OF THE MICRO-ORGANISMS ON THE FILM IS ACCOMPLISHED BY MOVING A SPREADING MEMBER ALONG THE SPIRAL PATH WHICH INTERSECTS AN ARCUATE SWATH CONTAINING A MASS OF SUCH MICRO-ORGANISMS. A TECHNIQUE FOR CASTING THE STRIP WITH AND WITHOUT AN ASSOCIATED ANTIBIOTIC LAYER IS ALSO DISCLOSED.
