Question

A culture technique that encourages the growth of specific microbes while inhibiting the growth of others is an culture.

Answer 1

Selective media

Media that inhibit the growth of unwanted microorganisms and support the growth of the organism of interest by supplying nutrients and reducing competition are called Selective media. MacConkey agar is an example of this.

Many factors depend on the growth of the microorganisms.

1. Physical Requirements.

• Temperature
• pH
• Osmotic pressure

2. Chemical Requirements

• Carbon
• Nitrogen, Sulphur, and Phosphorus
• Oxygen and other elements

There are many types of cultures are using. For bacterial culture we use.

1. Broth culture
2. Agar Culture
3. Stab Culture
4. Solid plate culture for thermophilic microorganisms

For Virus and Phage culture we need a host cell in order to multiply.

Eukaryotic Cell Culture

Cell culture is the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside their natural environment. These conditions vary for each cell type.

There are different types of cultures for the growth of micro organism. For the growth of specific organism we use selctive medium to do the culture.
