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.
How would you dispose of a fungus or cultured bacteria?
Use a biohazard bin. The contents are then incinerated.
How you diagnose if it's viral or bacterial pneumonia?
A sputum culture will generally tell. Bacteria can be cultured, viruses can't.
Why its important to grow bacteria in lab?
Cultivation of bacteria is essential for the study of bacteria, usually in the development of vaccines for particular pathogens.
Name the cells which can be cultured?
Various types of cells can be cultured in the laboratory, including animal cells, plant cells, bacterial cells, fungal cells, and yeast cells. These cells can be cultured for research purposes, drug development, or biotechnological applications.

What are the differences between cultured cream and yogurt?
Cultured cream is made by fermenting cream with specific bacteria, resulting in a thick and tangy product. Yogurt, on the other hand, is made by fermenting milk with different bacteria, creating a creamy and tangy product with a different texture and taste compared to cultured cream.

Why is cultured bacteria so important in our daily lives?
it can help with digestion in a lot of cases.
What is the difference between cultured and uncultured bacteria?
Cultured bacteria refer to those that have been isolated and grown in a laboratory setting, allowing for further study and characterization. Uncultured bacteria, on the other hand, are those that have not been successfully grown or isolated in culture, making them difficult to study using traditional methods.
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.
What does a lab scientist do?
a lab scientists do labatory work and work in the lab with chemicals.
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.
How you diagnose if it's viral or bacterial pneumonia?
A sputum culture will generally tell. Bacteria can be cultured, viruses can't.
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.
