Poisons Bacterial stock culture for long term storage is necessary for research, diagnostics, teaching and learning purpose. Previously, the Centre of Medical Laboratory Technology, UiTM Puncak Alam was annually purchasing bacterial stock from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) which is costly. It was also a problem to maintain a pure stock culture for long term storage. Hence, this study aims to prepare our own bacterial stock culture and provide a standardize method to maintain a pure stock culture for long term storage. This will be achieved by determining the ideal growth phase to harvest cells for stock culture and the optimal inoculum size of Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) required to maintain a long-term storage of pure stock culture. E. coli (ATCC 25922) is a gram-negative and commonly isolated in gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections (UTI) and wound infections. The initial stock of E. coli (ATCC 25922) was obtained from the stock culture in Microbiology Laboratory, Centre of Medical Laboratory Technology, UiTM Puncak Alam. E. coli (ATCC 25922) appear as large and shiny on 5% sheep blood agar, lactose fermenter on MacConkey agar and give positive reaction on indole, motility and methyl red biochemical tests incubated at 37oC. Absorbance (OD 600nm) and colony forming unit (CFU/ml) counts are plotted against incubation time (hours) to analyze the growth curve of E. coli (ATCC 25922) in trypticase soy broth (TSB) incubated at 35oC. The bacterial cells were harvested at mid exponential phase at OD 600nm 2.151 with optimal inoculum size between 56.7 x 108 (CFU/ml) to 93.7 x 108 (CFU/ml). Stock cultures were stored in 20% glycerol (4oC, -20oC and -80oC) and microbeads (-20oC and -80oC) and recovered after 1 month storage. To check the purity and viability, recovered organisms were cultured on 5% sheep blood agar and MacConkey agar and biochemical tests were performed. Based on the results, all stock cultures were successfully recovered with pure growth of E. coli (ATCC 25922) without any contamination. From this study, it can be concluded that long term storage of bacterial stock culture can be achieved by determining the ideal growth phase of bacteria (exponential phase) and optimal inoculum size of bacteria to harvest cells for stock culture in 20% glycerol (4oC, -20oC and -80oC) and microbeads (-20oC and -80oC). This method can be practiced by laboratory staff and students to perform a pure stock culture of Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) in Microbiology Laboratory, Centre of Medical Laboratory Technology, UiTM Puncak Alam. 2019 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/50569/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/50569/1/50569.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA (Kampus Puncak Alam) Faculty of Health Sciences Mohamad Hussain, Roslinah
