Broth culture
A broth culture is a laboratory method used to grow microorganisms, like bacteria or fungi, in a nutrient-rich liquid medium called broth. This technique allows scientists to observe the growth, identify the organism, and test its response to antibiotics or other agents. The broth provides the necessary nutrients for microbes to multiply, making it easier to detect and analyze their characteristics. It's a common, efficient way to study microorganisms for diagnostic and research purposes.
