Explanation:

An agar plate is a Petri dish containing agar as a solid growth medium supplied with nutrients (i.e., an enriched medium), which enable to culture different microbes ranging from fungi to bacteria. Colony morphology is a widely used approach to describe the unique features of bacteria colonies growing on agar media. These colony features include, among others, shape (round, circular, punctiform, irregular), elevations/depressions (convex, concave, flat), textures (dry, moist, crusty, dull, shiny, mucoid, friable, rough), colors (cream, white, purple, gray, red, green, yellow, blue), etc.
