Best Answer

A colony is a group of identical bacteria (clones) which grow together into a visible cluster. Generally, a colony is grown on an nutrient agar plate (on a petri dish with bacteria food in it) such that it is large enough to see the bacteria. An additional type of colony is a "microcolony" which is a term used for a group of the same bacteria which grown in the dirt.
