Talk:Agar plate

message: I disagree that this article should be moved to wikibooks as per the recently added tag.  It may well be that the article can be improved and made more encyclopaedic and that some of the "how to" might belong elsewhere, but as a frequent user of wikipedia, I was searching for this infomation here and expected to find it on wikipedia--User:AYArktos |  Talk 01:42, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

message: At the top of the page, only streaking is mentioned. What about spread plates and pour plates? This is an agar plate page, and I think the streaking references do not belong, or if they do, should be complemented in a separate section by the other methods I mentioned.

message: "A... media" appears several times throughout this article (e.g. "A selective and differential media...").  "Media" is the plural of "medium".  Each instance should be corrected to "a... medium". 71.96.70.9 (talk) 20:17, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  Feel free to make the correction — it's quite easy. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 07:17, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

message: "An agar plate is a sterile Petri dish that contains a growth medium (typically agar plus nutrients) used to culture microorganisms or small plants like the moss Physcomitrella patens."
"... a sterile Petri dish ..." suggests that agar plates are not agar plates after microorganisms have been added. Is this true? Raptortech97 (talk) 21:33, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, people still call them "agar plates" when there are things growing on them.  I've removed sterile to clarify.  Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 05:01, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not an agar plate after microorganisms have been added? 

message: Having edited the See also section, to include a link to the previously orphaned Casein nutrient agar article, and grouped it with two other entries for recipes of agar that had already been in the list, I now see there is a template for { { Growth media } } (which, of course does not list Casein nutrient agar, hence it previously having been an orphan article). I think I had better leave all this to an editor more expert than I to sort out :-)  TheAMmollusc (talk) 07:38, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
