Isolate and maintain cultures of bacteria or other microorganisms in prescribed or developed media, controlling moisture, aeration, temperature, and nutrition.

Task automation exposure

5/100

Very low exposure

Exposure basis

[v4/median] score 5 (raw 5 | A 8 / B 5 / C 5 | modality: physical_primary) Isolation and maintenance of microbial cultures require aseptic physical manipulation that is only partially automated in specialized labs, so most work remains manual. (capable: Automated colony picker/liquid handling robot (e.g., QPix, Tecan))
