A mixed culture is a container that holds two or more identified and easily differentiated species of microorganisms. A contaminated culture was once pure or mixed (and thus a known entity) but since had contaminants (unwanted microbes of uncertain identity) introduced into it.
A normal culture may be contaminated by a mixture of microorganisms normally found on a person's skin (normal flora).

The bacteria on the margin are the most active and healthiest because they have access to fresh nutrients and have not yet contaminated the culture medium with waste.
Contamination of culture can be indicated by changes in the appearance, smell, or pH of the culture medium, growth of unintended microorganisms, or unexpected outcomes in experiments that use the culture. Turbidity, color changes, or presence of particulate matter can also suggest contamination. Regularly monitoring cultures and conducting controls can help in detecting contamination.
