Answer 2

to make the transfers from the culture plates to the culture tubes? If the bacteria is going to be transferred into a liquid medium or by streaking the surface of a slant, a loop is used. A needle is used for stabbing the bacteria into agar deep. An inoculation loop, also called a smear loop, inoculation wand or microstreaker, is a simple tool used mainly by microbiologists to retrieve an inoculum from a culture of microorganisms. The loop is used in the cultivation of microbes on plates by transferring inoculum for streaking.
