Liquid culture
A liquid culture is a method used to grow microorganisms, such as fungi or bacteria, in a nutrient-rich liquid medium. This controlled environment allows the microorganisms to multiply rapidly, making it easier to produce large quantities for research or cultivation. The process involves inoculating the sterile liquid with a small amount of the microorganism, which then reproduces, creating a concentrated solution of the growing organism. Liquid cultures are commonly used in labs to study, propagate, or harvest microorganisms efficiently without the need for solid substrates.
