ABSTRACT

One of the most difficult task for young microbiologists is the isolation and identification of unknown bacteria form different sources in their university or collage laboratory. Most of the time they got succeeded by studying different literature but not all the time and they have to purchase ATCC stains to continue their work but ATCC are expensive for them and it is not easy for every student to buy it. Identification of bacteria is difficult but by using different simple test and proper approach, young researchers can identify bacteria in their laboratory. In this review some of the most commonly used test are mentioned for the isolation of bacteria in small scale university or collage laboratory. In this review Nine simple tests are mentioned and by using these test Young microbiologists can almost identify bacteria without any harden. Although it is just a mini review but it can be very handy for young microbiologists and young researchers of different fields to get the detail in one paper instead of reading different literature.

Key words: isolation, identification, Bacteria and Test
