Summary Introduction
To create:
The concept map that illustrate the relationships among given key terms.
Concept introduction:
Culturing of microbes is a method of multiplication of microorganisms in a defined culture medium. It is performed under controlled temperature and other conditions to identify the various types of the microbes. A media is required to provide proper nutrients to the microbes that are being cultured.
