Biochemical and Molecular Methods for Bacterial Identification
The major part of microbiological practices is the proper identification of isolated bacterial strains. The biochemical tests are based on the fact that each kind of bacteria, due to their specific metabolic property, responds differently and gives certai

Preface
Discovery of microorganisms and the field microbiology began with the invention of the first microscope in the year 1665, and since then, exponential growth of this science can be seen. In fact, the current world largely depends upon the various aspects of microbes, organisms that are invisible to the naked eye. These tiny organisms demonstrate their presence in both positive and negative facets of life. Microorganisms including bacteria, yeast, molds, etc., are ubiquitous in nature and their applications are as well omnipresent throughout. Right from the air, soil, and water, that is, three main constituents of the Earth, the applicability of microbes can be found in any means. This science is gaining importance globally as far as the safety and quality of various commodities such as food, water and wastewater, air, cosmetics, drugs and pharmaceuticals, and antimicrobial preparation such as paints, emulsions, herbal prep
