Summary Introduction
To review:
The simple way to grow barophiles in the laboratory.
Introduction:
Barophiles are microbes that can grow in greater pressure conditions than the atmospheric pressure. Microbes are classified on the basis of various environmental conditions such as the temperature, pressure, and oxygen. Beneficial microbes are cultured in laboratories for using them in different ways.
