- koeng 3y agoTheir media is real complicated and expensive (plus difficult to prepare: can’t just throw everything in an autoclave), and they don’t grow very fast, and they don’t grow to a high concentration. Basically that means that you can easily get contamination (like you would growing human cells), and even when you do get growth, it’s dilute.
