    provide the favourable condition to the other for growth. These isolation techniques were developed by Robert Koch in 1883 in which he added agar to the liquid nutrient broth. With the addition of agar the liquid media was transformed into the solid media and helped in isolating different bacterial colonies. In this media the nutrient broth supplemented the nutrientinal requirements of the bacteria whereas agar provides the solid substrate for bacterial growth. The pure culture contains a similar kind of
