Keywords: | microbial colony; plate-spreading; probabilistic π approximation | Issue Date: | 16-Mar-2023 | Publisher: | Wiley | Journal or Series Name: | Biochemistry and molecular biology education | Volume: | 51 | Issue: | 3 | Startpage: | 312 | Endpage: | 315 | Abstract: | Ideally, microbial spread plating results in randomly distributed colonies on the agar surface. This can be seen as a Monte Carlo simulation and enables probabilistic approximation of circle number π. We perform π approximation in a microbiology undergraduate course to awaken the students' ambition for a good spread plating technique. |
