Do you know 50% of the world's population will be obese by 2035? Are you aware of the complications of obesity? The fifth highest risk factor for death worldwide is being obese or overweight. A minimum of 2.8 million adult deaths are caused by being overweight or obese each year.
So, are you aware of your health? I will share some tricks to maintain your health after you complete your survey.

Dear Sir/Mam,

PSCST in collaboration with Technical Partner Institutions has set up first-of-its kind ‘Skill Vigyan Centre’ with the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India. The centre invites applications from students of colleges and Universities for Student Training Programme in Life Sciences and Pharma sector in alignment with National occupation standards of Ministry of Skill Development, Govt. of India in 8 different modules. The 3 months training programme to be offered by 5 technical partners would focus on generating Industrially employable skilled human resources. The selected candidates will be given a stipend of Rs 5000/- per month and certificate from LSSSDC. For more details and registration please visit http://isfcp.org/i/skill-vigyan/ and https://pscst.punjab.gov.in. The Last Date for receiving applications is 03.08.2021.

Note: Kindly register and forward to the eligible candidates.

Thanking you

🔶Difference Between Pour Plate Method and Spread Plate Method🔶
🔺What is a Pour Plate?..................................
Pour plate refers to a plate prepared by mixing the inoculum with cooled but, still molten medium before pouring the latter into the Petri dish. It is the method of choice for counting the number of colony-forming bacteria present in a liquid specimen. A fixed amount of inoculum from sample is placed in the center of a sterile Petri dish and then the cooled, molten agar is poured on to the dish and mixed well. The plate can be inverted and incubated after solidification.

In the pour plate method, bacteria grow both on the surface as well as within the medium. Small colonies appear within the medium due to lack of oxygen. One can count each colony in the plate as each colony represents a colony-forming unit (CFU).

🔺What is Spread Plate?...................................
Spread plate is a technique that counts or isolates bacterial colonies on the surface of the agar. A small amount of inoculum can be poured on to the solidified agar and spread with the use of a spreader. Here, the spreader should not be too hot, as it may kill the bacteria in the sample.

Bacterial growth of the spread plate only occurs on the surface of the plate. Therefore, spread plate technique gives well-separated colonies that are easy to count and pick up. The dilution of the sample is a critical factor in obtaining well-separated colonies.


🔶Similarities Between Pour Plate and Spread Plate🔶...............................................................
Pour plate and spread plate are two techniques used to grow bacteria in order to quantify them.
The preparation of both types of plates requires nutrient agar and Petri dishes.
After inoculation, both plates are incubated for bacterial growth.

🔷🔷Comparison Summary🔷🔷
......................................
💢Definition

✴️Pour Plate: A plate prepared by mixing the inoculum with the cooled but still molten medium before pouring the latter into the Petri dish.
✴️Spread Plate: A technique used to count or isolate bacterial colonies on the surface of the agar

💢Preparation

✴️Pour Plate: Molten agar is poured on the inoculum in a Petri dish and gently swirled
✴️Spread Plate: Inoculum is spread on the solidified agar on a plate by a spreader

💢Amount of Inoculum

✴️Pour Plate: 1 ml
✴️Spread Plate: 0.1 ml

💢Colony Growth

✴️Pour Plate: In and on the medium
✴️Spread Plate: Only on the surface of the medium

💢Area of Growth

✴️Pour Plate: More area to grow
✴️Spread Plate: Less area to grow

💢Purpose

✴️Pour Plate: To count the number of colony-forming bacteria in a sample.
✴️Spread Plate: To isolate specific clonal colonies

💢Advantages

✴️Pour Plate: Allows the identification of bacteria as aerobes, anaerobes or facultative aerobes; allows the growth of microaerophiles
✴️Spread Plate: Even distribution of colonies

💢Disadvantages

✴️Pour Plate:
-Picking a colony may interrupt other colonies
-Loss of viability of heat-sensitive organisms coming into contact with hot agar.
-Embedded colonies are much smaller than those which happen to be on the surface. Thus, one must be careful to score these so that none are overlooked.
-Reduced growth rate of obligate aerobes in the depth of the agar.

✴️Spread Plate:
-Does not allow the growth of microaerophiles
-Only a small inoculation volume can be used
-There is a Higher Probability of Contamination prior to isolation.
-Can be used for qualitative and not quantitative studies because it cannot be used for the enumeration of the approximate number of bacteria in the given sample.
