Good Bacteria for Simple Labs The culture arrived on a Thursday, and we stored in within the original box inside the house until Monday when we did the lab. On agar Petri dishes it grew very well when placed in a window receiving direct sunlight. Grew more slowly under room lighting, and hardly at all in the dark. The bacillus subtilis also grew very well in a Petri dish under room lighting.

The culture arrived alive and grew well The slant culture arrived intact, on time, and served our high school microbiology lab well. The slant culture was kept for several days in our garage (where the temperature ranged probably from around 45 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit) before we streaked the bacteria on agar plates. The bacteria grew acceptably well even though it wasn't plated immediately after arrival.
