Concept Of Culturing
Culturing simply involves the techniques of growing micro-organisms in special media in the laboratory.

By this means, micro-organism characteristics such as colour, pattern of growth and appearance can be seen. Culture of micro-organisms can be grown from water, air, animals, plants and various parts of human body.
Preparation of Culture Solution
- The culture solution called Agar is prepared under sterile conditions
- Then boil and pour it into sterile petri-dish
- Allow it to cool and set in the petri-dish

- The material is then introduced into the agar medium and covered immediately
- Place the petri-dish in warm but dark compartment or an incubator
- Observe and record what you have seen for 2-3 days
