Once the growth medium in the petri dish is inoculated with the desired bacteria, the plates are incubated at the optimal temperature for the growing of the selected bacteria (for example, usually at 37 degrees Celsius, or the human body temperature, for cultures from humans or animals, or lower for environmental cultures). After the desired ...
While microbial inoculants are applied to improve plant nutrition, they can also be used to promote plant growth by stimulating plant hormone production. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Although bacterial and fungal inoculants are common, inoculation with archaea to promote plant growth is being increasingly studied.
The terms "intrinsic incubation period" and "extrinsic incubation period" are used in vector-borne diseases.The intrinsic incubation period is the time taken by an organism to complete its development in the definitive host.
Inoculation is a theory that explains how attitudes and beliefs can be made more resistant to future challenges.
