How do you inoculate a fungal culture in broth?

To inoculate a fungal culture in broth, a sterile loop or swab is used to transfer a small amount of the fungal culture onto the surface of the broth. The culture is then incubated at the appropriate temperature for the particular fungal strain being cultured. After incubation, the growth of the fungus in the broth can be observed and analyzed.


Can turbidity measurement be used on a fungal culture in liquid medium?

Yes, turbidity measurement can be used on a fungal culture in liquid medium to assess growth. As the culture grows, it will become more turbid due to the increase in biomass. Measuring turbidity can provide a quick and convenient way to monitor fungal growth without the need for frequent sampling or destructive methods.
