Please match the type of culture to the statement that most accurately describes it to test your understanding of the different types of cultures. 1. The type of culture most frequently used in the laboratory which contains only a single species of microbe. 2. A second-level culture where an isolated colony from one culture is taken and transferred into a new medium. 3. A culture which contains two or more species which can be easily differentiated. 4. A culture which contains one or more unwanted and often unidentified microbes. Pure culture Mixed culture Contaminated culture Subculture
