Sterilized glass plating beads (4 mm) provide an efficient and easy method to achieve optimal spreading on agar plates. The rolling action of the glass beads gently spread the E. coli solution (or any bacterial /fungal solution) to reach areas of the plate that are inaccessible to spread. Multiple plates containing beads and E. coli solution may be stacked and shaken simultaneously to increase spreading throughout and reduce cell stress. The beads may be recovered by washing with 70% ethanol, then sterilized and dried.
