Noun
/tɜːrˈbɪdɪsteɪt ˈkʌltʃər/
A turbidistate culture refers to a type of microbial culture where the medium is characterized by a turbid appearance, often due to a high density of microorganisms suspended in the liquid. It contrasts with a clear or stationary culture where fewer microorganisms are present. The term is primarily used in microbiology and biochemistry.
The term turbidistate culture is predominantly used in written scientific literature, particularly in microbiology and related fields. Its frequency in oral speech is limited to academic and professional contexts.
In microbiological studies, a turbidistate culture can provide a more accurate representation of microbial growth.
В микробиологических исследованиях культура в состоянии мутности может дать более точное представление о росте микроорганизмов.
Researchers noted that the turbidistate culture showed enhanced metabolic activity compared to stationary cultures.
Исследователи отметили, что культура в состоянии мутности продемонстрировала повышенную метаболическую активность по сравнению со стационарными культурами.
The laboratory prepared a turbidistate culture to observe the effect of antibiotics on bacterial growth.
Лаборатория подготовила культуру в состоянии мутности, чтобы наблюдать за воздействием антибиотиков на рост бактерий.
While "turbidistate culture" does not commonly appear in idiomatic expressions, it can be associated with concepts indicative of complexity, confusion, or lack of clarity in various contexts. Here are some relevant expressions that include related terms:

The term "turbidistate" derives from the word "turbid," which comes from the Latin turbidus, meaning "cloudy, disturbed, or muddy." The compound structure also incorporates "state," indicating a condition or phase of being, particularly highlighting a clouded or opaque nature in the context of cultures.
