Synopsis

Final year undergraduate Microbiology students are often required to identify the several bacterial isolates obtained in the course of their research project. For undergraduate Microbiology students of Universities in low income earning countries, the cost effective means available to achieve such identification include microscopic examination, and biochemical/physicochemical tests. This handbook provides a practical guide for carrying out the various biochemical/physicochemical tests that can lead to the identification of aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria isolates. Directions for compounding the media and reagents used for carrying out some of these biochemical/physicochemical tests have also been provided in this handbook. Result patterns generated for investigated isolates from the biochemical/physicochemical tests covered in this handbook can be compared with the reaction patterns of some known bacteria species presented in Chapter Five so as to decipher the identity of the investigated isolates. The Result patterns generated for investigated isolates can also be submitted to ABIS (Advanced Bacterial Identification Software) online for identification. This handbook will also be valuable to post graduate Microbiology students who need to narrow down their large number of bacterial isolates before proceeding for identification through molecular means.
