The Exploration of the Possible Use of the Replica Plating Technique in LSSC's Bacteriology or Applied Microbiology Laboratory Schedule

The purpose of this seminar was to experiment with the Replica Plating technique with the hope that it could possibly be encorporated into the Bacteriology or Applied Microbiology lab sched-ules. Replica Plating is a bacterial transfer technique devised by Lederberg and Lederberg in 1952. It is used today for the isolation of prototrophic and auxotrophic bacterial mutants. This technique is an important tool in the study of bacterial genetics. Esherichia coli bacteria were used in conjunctuon with penicillin in the hopes of isolating penicillin resistant bacterial mutants. It was conclud-ed that the Replica Plating technique should not be encorporated into either the Bacteriology or the Applied Microbiology lab schedules.
