Make sure to mark on the bottom of your plate which half of the plate was exposed to UV light and incubate them at 37°C. To test the effectiveness of a chemical against pathogens, glass beads are coated with bacteria, exposed to different concentrations of germicides, and finally transferred to a growth medium.
