Summary Introduction
To review:
The following:Â
1. The culture of microbes in liquid and solid media.
2. The comparison between cultural approaches of Koch and Winogradsky.
Introduction:
Culture media are used for growing living cells by providing them with optimal nutrient concentrations. Pure culture makes use of the same methods as for bacterial cultures. Pure cultures of multicellular organisms are often easier to isolate by selecting a single individual to initiate a culture.
