Cultivation of microorganisms can take place on a gel-like nutrient medium, which is placed in a flat, round, transparent dish with lid (the so-called Petri dish). Due to the solid gel, mixing of the microorganisms is prevented and larger cell culture accumulations (colonies) can grow. Petri dishes are used for the cultivation of bacteria, yeasts, plant and animal cells on solid media.Shallow glass dishes used for culturing bacteria and other general laboratory uses. Designed to meet Federal Specification NNN-D-1478.
