A Petri dish (alternatively known as a Petri plate or cell-culture dish) is a shallow transparent lidded dish that biologists use to hold growth medium in which cells can be cultured, [1] [2] originally, cells of bacteria, fungi and small mosses. [3]
As the surface area of most filters is less than that of a standard Petri dish, the linear range of the plate count will be less. [11] The Miles and Misra methods or drop-plate method wherein a very small aliquot (usually about 10 microliters) of sample from each dilution in series is dropped onto a Petri dish. The drop dish must be read while ...
100 mm (3.9 in) diameter Petri dishes containing agar gel for bacterial culture Main article: Agar plate An agar plate or Petri dish is used to provide a growth medium using a mix of agar and other nutrients in which microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi , can be cultured and observed under the microscope.

English: The Evolution of Bacteria on a “Mega-Plate” Petri Dish: Bacteria (white) grow on a large petri dish with increasing concentrations of antibiotic (trimethoprim) in bands towards the center. Evolution of antibiotic resistance can be seen as mutants with higher antibiotic resistance are able to colonise the more central regions.
The first culture media was liquid media, designed by Louis Pasteur in 1860. [2] This was used in the laboratory until Robert Koch's development of solid media in 1881. [ 3 ] Koch's method of using a flat plate for his solid media was replaced by Julius Richard Petri's round box in 1887. [ 2 ]
Search Pubmed or something for an article containing Petri dishes for examples, it's pretty much universally capital P. Just a quick addition to this discusson. I am publishing a book with MIT Press and the editors changed it to lower case P, even though that still seems weird to me. FWIW. -- Jyoshimi ( talk ) 17:42, 12 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ]
The molten medium is then poured onto a microscope slide or into an open container, such as a Petri dish, and allowed to cool and form a gel. A solution containing the antigen is then placed in a well that is punched into the gel. The slide or container is then covered, closed or placed in a humidity box to prevent evaporation.
