Isolation of Bacteria

Today, we isolated bacteria from different objects in the environment to prepare a smear plate! I chose to isolate bacteria from an item utilized daily, my student ID. First, I took a sterile swab, dipped it in nutrient agar broth, swabbed all over the front of my student ID, then swabbed the bacteria onto the hardened agar broth in the petri dish. I labeled the dish, and put it in the incubator at 25 degrees centigrade. Enjoy the pictures!
