Summary Introduction
To review:
The importance of growing bacteria in a pure culture.
Introduction:
Bacteria are one of the classifications of microorganisms. Bacterial cells are generally unicellular as they are single celled microorganisms that fall under prokaryotes. Bacteria are cosmopolitan and present in ocean, soil and within the gut of humans. These single celled organisms may prove to be both beneficial as well as harmful to the humankind.
