Definition

A type of cell proliferation assay evidence where the investigated organism or a potential antagonist is inoculated so as to grow along the diameter line of the agar medium in a Petri dish, then, potentially susceptible microbes (usually bacteria) are streaked perpendicularly to the growth line and inhibition of growth of a test microbe in the vicinity of that line suggests that the antagonist secretes one or more diffusible antibiotics. http:www.jstor.org/stable/3792785
