Microbes Around Us—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Yuck! That’s what your students will say when they see microbes grow- ing on their agar plates . Students will be amazed at the microbes they find on “clean” surfaces! Once additional testing is completed, students will determine whether antibacterial products really work . The step-by- step directions provided will help you prepare for a safe and involving first microbiology laboratory . Student experimental designs and lab group size will determine how many kits you will need . The prepara- tion of sterile agar-filled Petri dishes requires the use of an autoclave or pressure cooker .
Microbe Hunting—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Reduce preparation time and provide a safe first
microbiology experiment for your students . Let students safely culture microbes they collect and test factors affecting their growth . This kit contains the innovative 3M® PetrifilmTM plates . These ready-to-use paper-thin growth plates eliminate the need for sterilizing equipment and long hours of pouring agar plates . You and your students are ready to hunt for microbes the day the kit arrives .
Kit contains 50 Petrifilm plates. Includes directions for Petrifilm inoculation and incubation as well as experimental suggestions.

Store Your Bacterial Cultures
Newly purchased cultures should be stored at room temperature in an upright position . Most cultures will keep stored this way for 1–2 weeks without subculturing . Unique storage requirements of some cultures will be provided with the cultures and special directions should be followed .
Bacteriology Simulation Lab
Now your students can conduct real bacteriology labs—without real bacteria . Ideal for middle-level students and for instructors lacking the facilities or the inclination to work with bacteria—and without the hassles of ordering, culturing and incubating . The simulated bacterial “cells” can be stored at room temperature, prepared when you need them, and engineered to function just like the real thing . Students will conduct the following experiments using standard microbiological techniques:
• Microscopic observation of bacterial morphology • Smearing, heat fixing and Gram staining
• Biochemical assays for enzymatic activity
All of the exercises generate realistic results and prepare your students for more advanced work .
Materials provided for 24 students working in pairs.
