Summary Introduction
To write:
The reason for the use of repeated freezing and thawing that raise bacterial growth in meat.
Introduction:
A growth medium: It is also known as a culture medium. It is a liquid, solid, or semi-solid that is designed to maintain the microbial or cell growth. Different types of media are utilized for the growth of different types of cells.
