Answer #1

Answer :)

Too little bacterial inoculum will give a bigger area of zone effect, which may be the whole plate. It is because not all the amount of the antibiotic or bactericide could be utilized. This will not provide a sufficient effect of the chemical on an optimum bacterial concentration.

Too heavy inoculum will grow more amount of bacteria on the plate, this time the antibiotic or bactericide may or may not able to show the zone of inhibition. It is because too much concentration of bacterial cells will hide the effect of the chemical.
