Read this first

A name used wrongly in the trade is not a synonym. Treat it as a trade label.

What the name stands for

Three different things share one name. A culture is not a species, and a species is not the animals in your tub. Keeping them apart is how this site avoids repeating the trade's mistakes.

  1. The culture
