Growth in Colonies
A pure culture contains only one species or strain.
A colony is a population of cells arising from a single
cell or spore or from a group of attached cells.
A colony is often called a colony-forming unit (CFU).

Some microbs can be observed with microscope,
identify their DNA but they can not be cultured
