Question

incubation
many bacterial cells on the agar or in the broth will reproduce rapidly if other environmental
conditions, such as temperature, are favorable. a single cell on the agar will produce a colony
of cells that is easily visible to the naked eye. such a colony is a pure culture because it is a
single species or strain of microorganism.
an incubator is a chamber that maintains a constant temperature. after microorganisms are
transferred to broth or agar, they are placed in an incubator (incubated) for a period of time
while the cells reproduce.
refrigerators are useful for maintaining stock cultures for long periods of time because
microorganisms grow (reproduce) very slowly at low temperatures. they can also be used to
store subcultures after they have been incubated.
a pure culture can contain more than one species of microorganism.
true
false

Explanation:

The text defines a pure culture as a colony that is a single species or strain of microorganism. So a pure culture cannot contain more than one species of microorganism, making the statement false.

Answer:

False
