The process of conducting culture tests involves several steps:
Sample Collection: Obtain a sample from the environment, organism, or suspected source of toxicity. Medium Preparation: Prepare a nutrient-rich medium to support the growth of the target cells or microorganisms. Inoculation: Introduce the sample into the medium under sterile conditions. Incubation: Allow the sample to grow at an appropriate temperature and atmosphere. Analysis: Examine the growth patterns and conduct tests to identify the organisms and their response to toxins.
