Streaking Plates

Purpose:
To recover strains that are frozen for later experiments.

Protocol:
Take strains out of  freezer(at -80 degrees C).  Gently dig into the frozen strains using pointed side of streaking instrument. Streak strains on CM agar petrie dishes (see diagram below). Put petrie dishes in plastic bag, upsidedown to prevent condensation from dripping onto the strains.  Store in incubator at 37 degrees C for 10 days.
