Introduction of Pure Culture-Microbiology :The microbial population in our environment is both large and complex. Many different microbial species are normally present in air, water, soil as well as various parts of human or animal body. To study a specific role played by a specific microorganism in the environment, one must isolate the organism in pure. No reliable physiological determination can be made on mixed cultures of bacteria.

MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY-PURE CULTURES. The identification of an organism is the process of determining its species. A routine systematic study of a pure culture includes morphology, cultural characteristics nutritional requirements, biochemical characteristics, physiological properties, serology, pathogenicity, sensitivity to bacteriophages and genetic characterization.
