Culturing

Culturing is the process of growing microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, in a controlled environment using nutrient-rich substances called media. This technique helps scientists identify, study, or test these microorganisms for research, medical diagnosis, or product development. By providing optimal conditions—like temperature and nutrients—culturing allows microbes to multiply rapidly, making them easier to observe and analyze. It’s a fundamental method in microbiology for understanding how microorganisms live, reproduce, and interact with their environment.
