    Hi there, please help! I am conducting the antibacterial assay of my plant sample following the well diffusion method. But I have faced with a problem. Should I filter my plant sample with the help of 0.2 micron filter inside laminar flow cabinet before adding the samples into the wells. I found that when I filtered my sample, the concentration as well as the volume of my prepared sample also get decreased. I have also gone through severe literatures of my field but found no paper mentioning the use of 0.2 micron filter. So is it necessary to do so or I can skip this step?

  • @MicroChemsExperiments

    No. You can do the test without filtering your sample. Though chance of contamination may remain, you can use 0.45 micron filter.

    Hi! I am still quite naive in this topic. I have two questions I wanted to ask : 1. if I am testing an antifungal activity of a substance (garbage enzyme from citrus peels to be specific), can I use well diffusion method? 2. do I inoculate the fungi in the same way as shown how to inoculate the bacteria in the video (by streaking the entire surface of the plate)? Or is there a better way to do it with fungi (ascomycete)? I am using Botrytis cinerea as the fungi btw. From what I can understand so far (by researching the topic on the internet), the standardized/more reccomended method for testing against fungi is to use broth dillution, but I am also under the impression that well diffusion can also work to test antifungal activity againts Botrytis cinerea, from a study I had found titled "A Comparative Study of Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activities of Plant Essential Oils and Extracts as Candidate Ingredients for Edible Coatings to Control Decay in ‘Wonderful’ Pomegranate" Sidenote : thank you so much for the content you post here, as a student I find them extremely useful. Please know that is perfectly understandable if you don't find the time or need to respond to my very specific questions, and sorry for taking your time 😄

    You can check antifungal activity by disk agar diffusion method. Only difference is the inoculation system. Collect spore and dilute in saline water and inoculae into agar surface. Rest of the method are same. We will upload a new video for it. Stay with us.

    Hey I'm working on a fabric treated with copper nanoparticles (turns out I actually synthesised copper *micro*particles but let's not talk about that). Do you think I can use this method to test the antibacterial activity? I've been searching for methods and was thinking between ATTCC 147 and JIS L 1092 but I've figured out my fabric samples were not fit with aatcc 147 and I couldn't find enough information about jis l 1902. I would appreciate some help :)

    In the media presentation, you need 25ml liquid MHA solution for each plate. So if you want to prepare 8 plates then you need total 200ml liquid MHA solution. To prepare 200ml MHA solution, you need 7.6g MHA dehydrated powder (as 38g needed for 1000ml or 1L solution. So 7.6g needed for 200ml solution).
