The identification of microorganisms is an important part of what many microbiologists do.  As you can imagine, clinical microbiologists would need to identify the pathogen that is causing disease in patients. A microbial ecologist is interested in what microbes are contributing to environmental change or they might want to identify new species in the field. Perhaps you are working in a lab and have a contaminant and want to know where it is coming from and what it is.  We have already learned some ways to identify microbes, in the last module, you learned about the many biochemical tests available to microbiologists that aid in their identification of bacteria.  We’ll continue with some of these biochemical tests, focusing on ones that are capable of combining multiple biochemical tests into one, and the use of selective and differential media to isolate an...
