The document provides instructions for four microbiology techniques: subculture streaking on agar plates, agar slant streaking, agar tube stabbing, and bacterial smear preparation. For subculture streaking, samples are streaked on agar plates in overlapping patterns to isolate colonies. For agar slant streaking, samples are streaked in a zigzag pattern on sloped agar tubes. For agar tube stabbing, samples are stabbed deep into sloped agar tubes. For smear preparation, a bacterial colony is transferred to a slide, spread, stained using the Gram method, and viewed under a microscope.

1. Bring all the materials needed in the biosafety cabinet
2. Set the biosafety cabinet in an arm wrist level. 3. If everything is ready sterilize the loop from tip to the end of the inoculating loop. 4. Cool down the loop 5. By using a loop take a sample in it. 6. Slightly open the cover of the petri plates 7. Blot the sample on the top edge of the plate containing agar. 8. Streak downward from side to side and edge to edge with proper spacing maximizing the space. 9. Repeat process on an imaginary cross layer. 10. Label the specimen 11. And place to incubator in an upside-down position
Agar slant streaking.
12. Sterilized the needle from tip to the end of the
13. Cool down 14. Open the cover of the tube by using the pinky finger 15. Sterilize the tube by passing the tip of the tube into flame 16. Collect sample by using the inoculating needle 17. Place the inoculating needle in the edge of the agar slant 18. Draw a small straight line from the edge of the slant agar and proceed streaking in a zigzag motion 19. After streaking sterilize the tip of the tube 20. Sterilize the tube 21. Cover the tube 22. Sterilize the needle 23. Then label the specimen 24. Incubate
Agar tube stabbing.

2. Cool down 3. Open the cover of the tube by using the pinky finger 4. Sterilize the tube by passing the tip of the tube into flame 5. Collect sample by using the inoculating needle 6. Stab the 2/3 of the agar. 7. Sterilize the tube 8. Cover the tube 9. Sterilize the needle 10. Then label the specimen 11. Incubate Bacterial smear preparation
25. Sterilized the loop
26. Label the slide 27. Place a drop of distilled water on the slide by using a sterilized loop 28. Sterilized the loop again and 29. Scoop a tiny amount of colony in the cultured plate 30. Transfer the colony on the slide containing distilled water 31. Spread the colony in a circular pattern 32. Air dry 33. Heat fix 34. Proceed with grams staining 35. 1 minute crystal violet 36. 1minute grams iodine 37. 1minute acetone alcohol 38. 1 minute safranin 39. Air dry 40. Heat fix 41. Place a drop of Oil immersion 42.
