Which of the following is used for the proper maintenance and preservation of pure cultures?

  • A.Periodic transfer to fresh media
  • B.Preservation by overlaying cultures with mineral oil
  • C.Preservation by lyophilization
  • D.All of the above

Answer: D

Correct answer: All of the above

All three are standard. Periodic transfer to fresh medium keeps a culture alive but risks contamination and mutation over many passages. Overlaying with mineral oil slows drying and metabolism, extending the interval between transfers. Lyophilisation - freeze drying - is the best for long-term storage, keeping cultures viable for years with no change.
