Tips and Techniques for Successfully Growing Bacteria in Culture Webinar

Identifying the ideal culture conditions for a bacterial strain can be challenging, particularly for fastidious species that require specialized growth conditions. For nearly a century, ATCC scientists have propagated and maintained numerous microbial species, including difficult-to-grow bacteria such as Mollicutes and extremophiles. In this webinar, we will cover the various methods and techniques used at ATCC to achieve successful growth for a wide variety of bacteria and will detail the troubleshooting tips our scientists use for culturing fastidious strains. Plan to join as we will have a lively Q&A session after the webinar to answer your questions and concerns about bacterial propagation.

Key Points

• Specific growth requirements should be tailored to ensure the successful propagation of individual bacteria strains. Different atmospheres, temperature ranges and other growth conditions will be discussed.
• New bacterial isolates may present unique growth issues.
• A rational approach to troubleshooting can ensure the resolution of poor growth.
