Materials

4 nutrient agar cultured plates, sterile cotton swab, marker, 2 bottles labeled A and B (A contains tap
water and B contains 70% ethyl alcohol), transparent adhesive tape, paper towels.

Procedure

1. Four petri dishes containing nutrient agar was labeled as Control for dish 1, Dry Swab for
dish 2, Treatment A for dish 3 and Treatment B for dish 4.

2. A sterile cotton swab was touched over the surface of the table and was strike on the agar of
Dish 2.

3. The lid on Dish 2 was securely taped to the bottom half of the dish.

4. One paper towel with tap water and second paper towel with 70% ethyl alcohol was soaked.

5. The table was wiped down with one half of the surface with liquid A and other half with
liquid B.

6. After the table was dried, using Dish 3 and Dish 4, the procedure describe in step 2 was
