To grow the widest diversity of marine microbes from the open ocean requires growth media that contain which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marine microbes from the open ocean are often adapted to environments with very low nutrient concentrations, particularly low carbon concentrations. To mimic their natural habitat and promote the growth of a diverse range of these microbes in laboratory settings, growth media should contain very low carbon concentrations. This approach helps in cultivating microbes that are otherwise difficult to grow under conditions with high nutrient concentrations.
