Development of a device for cultivation and isolation of microbes using a specialized cellulose film

A device was developed for the cultivation and isolation of microbes using a specialized cellulose film (SCF). This method can solve problems associated with the agar plate method. It can also be used for other culture-related operations, which is not possible with the traditional agar plate culture method. •Using a customized cellulose sheet, a device was developed.•This device was used for the growth and isolation of bacteria.•The issues with the agar plate culture method are solved by this culture method.•It can also be utilized for other culture-related tasks.•These include sampling, which isn't achievable with regular agar plate culture.
