Culturing a bacteria means increasing it's numbers so that you can see its colonies with the naked eye.
This is usually done using a culture medium - (an agar plate of some sort, with either a differential or selective base medium), which is a source of nutrition for the bacteria, allowing them to reproduce and grow in ideal conditions.
The original bacterium is placed on the culture medium using aseptic technique (to avoid contamination), and is then usually incubated inverted.
The bacteria will then reproduce and form colonies, which can then be seen by the naked eye. The colonies' characteristics (shape, colour, margin etc) will then be noted and these details will be used to identify the strain of bacteria present if the bacteria was being cultured for identification purposes.

What is microbial transfer?
It's movement of genetic material from one microbe to another. For example, two bacteria are incubated together in the lab. The resulting cultured organisms end up with qualities from both bacteria.
What percent of bacteria survive to grow on agar?
95% of microbes can not be grown on cultured media so its highly unlikely that you would take a sample and all of the microorganisms grow. I had this same question in my lab manual and thats how my professor described it.
How would you dispose of a fungus or cultured bacteria?
Use a biohazard bin. The contents are then incinerated.
Name the cells which can be cultured?
the bacterial cells,like nitrogen fixing bacteria and a number of beneficially important cell are cultured now a days with the increasing advancement in biotechnology
How you diagnose if it's viral or bacterial pneumonia?
A sputum culture will generally tell. Bacteria can be cultured, viruses can't.

Why is cultured bacteria so important in our daily lives?
it can help with digestion in a lot of cases.

How does the bacteria bacilli reproduce?
Bacilli reproduce by cell fission and can be cultured on nutrient plates in a laboratory
What is cultured butter?
Cultured butter is butter which has had live bacteria added to it before churning which gives it a tart flavor. Culturing butter is more common in Europe than in the United States.
What are 10 foods that are made from bacteria?
If you mean made using bacteria, they would include anything called 'cultured' like yogurt and some buttermilk.
Whats the definition of primal defense?
Primal defense is a beneficial bacteria or hso. Also known as a lab cultured probiotic used to stabilize blood sugar, and boost immune system by causing the body to produce immune chemicals, more anti-bodies, and t-cells.
What does a lab scientist do?
a lab scientists do labatory work and work in the lab with chemicals.

How is extracted breast milk prepared for laboratory testing?
The milk is cultured, allowing colonies of bacteria to grow. The causative bacteria then can be specially prepared for identification under a microscope.
