Best Answer

The size of the culture tubes selected will depend on:

  1. The type of experiment
  2. What is being cultured in them and for how long
Certain experiments involve growing bacteria in tubes inlaid with agar. These are called agar slants. Small volumes are required for experiments.

If however, plant cells or tissues are being grown, then there should be enough space available for growth. Also, the size of the tubes determines how much gases (like oxygen and carbon dioxide) are available to the growing tissues and therefore might have an effect on the results.
