Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pure culture refers to a population of identical cells, meaning that there is no genetic variation within the culture. It does not necessarily have to be sterile, and it can be grown in a variety of mediums, not just a clearly defined chemical medium. It is also not limited to containing only one microbial cell, as it can contain many cells of the same species.
