Ecophysiological grouping of Antarctic environmental bacteria by API 20 NE and fatty acid fingerprints

Gas liquid chromatography and a commercially available strip of 20 conventional biochemical tests were used for the rapid sorting of strains of environmental bacterial isolates into similar ecophysiological groups. This combination is appropriate for studies with organisms that do not conform to des...

Description
Summary:Gas liquid chromatography and a commercially available strip of 20 conventional biochemical tests were used for the rapid sorting of strains of environmental bacterial isolates into similar ecophysiological groups. This combination is appropriate for studies with organisms that do not conform to described species because of the constraints imposed upon them by their habitats.
