∙ 16y agoCulturing is a method of studying bacteria by growing them on media containing nutrients. To isolate a single bacterial species from a mixture of different bacteria, solidified media are used. Individual cells dividing on the surface do not move away from each other as they would do in liquid, and after many replications they form visible colonies composed of tens of millions of cells all derived from a single cell. If a portion of the colony is then transferred to a liquid medium, it will grow as a pure culture, free of all other bacteria except that single species.
