Isolation And Identification Of Soil Bacteria Teaching Kit

Description

There are many methods of isolating bacteria from soil.Among them the most commonly used method is by serial dilution.In thismethod,soil is suspended in sterile water and serially diluted, thus decreasing the number of organisms in each dilution.This helps in isolating organisms in pure form when plated on agar surface.The serial dilution technique ealso helps in determining the number of organisms that may be present in a given soil sample and this in turn helps in determining the quality of the soil sample. Bacteria are identified and classified based on morphological, physiological metabolic,serologicalbacteriaphage typing, ecological,genetic,biochemicaltests,stainingand molecular characteristics.The kit focuses on the identification of the isolated bacteria by colony and microscopic observation post Gram staining.
