8 LABORATORY STOCKS OF BACTERIA Micro-organisms are frequently supplied as freeze dried cultures in uacuu in sealed ampoules. A list of suppliers is given in Appendix 2. The freeze dried cultures 30 Chapter 3 should be recovered into a nutritionally rich liquid medium several days before being required, as organisms may need several successive subcultures before regaining their normal physiological characteristics. The process of opening ampoules and recovering freeze dried cultures can be difficult.

The sterile loop is dipped into the sample from which the organism is to be isolated, and is then drawn gently across the surface of the agar several times to cover an arc of about sixty degrees. The loop is resterilised in the bunsen flame or in the case of plastic loops, a fresh one is used. The loop is then drawn through the tail end of the previous streaks across a second arc of sixty degrees. This is repeated a third and fourth time. 1). When incubated at the appropriate temperature, these individual organisms will grow to form single colonies which, with care, can be picked off the plate.

Once grown, the slopes can be stored in a refrigerator until needed. It is best for new staff to practise this procedure several times on unimportant material before attempting it on real samples. Several slopes of each organism should be prepared. One of these should act as the master culture and should not be used unless it is essential. The function of the master culture is to preserve the culture with all its original characteristics, and it should only be used if contamination of the working cultures takes place, or if the strain is lost.
