·General identification of bacteria

For the identification of bacteria，The basic requirement to start the identification work is a pure culture of the organism under investigation. Generally it involves besides a basic characterization the use of partial sequence analysis of the 16S rDNA，the analysis of the the API gallery or the BiOLOG system.
