Motility assay

Add 13 ml of the motility agar (0.4%) in every petri dish.
Inoculate the plates with the strain of interest (10 µl of overnight culture with an OD₆₀₀ of 0.4).
The spot is dried for half an hour, after which the plates are inoculated at different temperatures (25°C and 37°C) for 16 hours.
After 16 hours of growth, the diameter of the colony is measured.
