There are 2 zones, the first a clear one with no bacterial growth (circled in red), but there's also a second zone where there's still the pale fuzzy growth through the agar (I inoculate by pouring broth into cooled liquid agar before pouring the plates), but no individual colonies (as shown outside the area circled in green).
It's a bit frustrating because there's definite inhibition in the small zone, but partial in the larger one because the colonies have failed to grow......does your Baccilus grow like mine, a combination of fuzzy 'lawn' & also a smattering of colonies?
Thoughts please?
(there are no distinct colonies) you maybe plated too much, it is better to be "stingy" when platting than to put too much
