Subculture (biology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In biology, a subculture is either: a microbiological culture made by transferring microorganisms from a previous culture to a fresh growth medium, a method used to prolong the life of a particular strain of microorganism where there is a tendency of degeneration in older cultures; or a fresh culture made with material obtained from a previous one.
