The vast majority of prokaryotes cannot be grown in the lab because their growth requirements are not yet understood or mimicked. These prokaryotes may have very specific nutritional, environmental, or symbiotic dependencies that are difficult to replicate outside of their natural habitats. Additionally, many prokaryotes are part of complex ecosystems that are challenging to recreate in a laboratory setting.
