When answering this question, focus on your hands-on experience with microbial culture techniques. Discuss specific methods you have used, such as agar plate cultures, broth cultures, or cell culture techniques. Mention any relevant projects or research where you applied these techniques, and highlight any challenges you faced and how you overcame them. For example:
"In my previous role at XYZ Lab, I routinely used agar plate cultures to isolate and identify bacterial strains from environmental samples. I also have experience with broth cultures for growing large quantities of microorganisms for further analysis. One challenging project involved isolating a rare bacterial species from soil samples, where I had to optimize the culture conditions to successfully grow the bacteria. This experience honed my problem-solving skills and deepened my understanding of microbial growth requirements."
