I do not think so. In the case of liquid farm bacteria we need to calculate the preparation of cells per ml and We need to transplant this one ml of liquid culture in a single dish and then pour Agar it over the entire dish and wait for the next day to calculate the preparation of developing colonies, each representing one of them a bacterial cell and the one in the original liquid culture
If you have limited number of colonies, you do not need to divide the plate, When we have numerous colonies more than 250 per plate and many plates should be counted
