Area A was inoculated with a loop containìng 3 mìllion organisms from the original culture, which was mixed very well and considered to be homogeneous. Areas B, C & D were streaked from the previous area with a sterilized loop, with each streak transferring 2% of the organisms from the previous area (assume the relative abundance of the two organisms was maintained).
