In this practical investigation, we explore the world of microbiology and learn how to grow microbial cultures on agar plates while observing their growth characteristics. Discover the necessary equipment needed and learn the importance of aseptic technique to prevent contamination. Through the process of incubation and making subcultures, we uncover the unique colony characteristics of different microorganisms. By the end of this experiment, you'll gain a deeper understanding of microbial growth and the importance of laboratory safety.
