    Biochemical Test Topics / Categories


    Agricultural Microbiology (12)
    Biochemical tests are the tests that are performed on different bacteria for their
    Bacteriology (123)
    identification on the basis of their biochemical activities towards different biochemical
    compounds. Basic Microbiology (60)

    Biochemical Test (114)


    Biochemical tests are one of the traditional methods for the identification of
    microorganisms, usually performed with phenotypic identification. Biochemistry (155)

    For many years these methods were employed extensively, and they continue to be used Bioinformatics (21)

    nowadays, especially in some laboratory routines where a particular type of Biology (183)
    microorganism has to be identified rapidly. Biotechnology (28)
    The ability of microorganisms to utilize certain biomolecules, resulting in useful organic Book Reviews (1)
    compounds for themselves forms the basis of various biochemical tests. Cell Biology (94)
    Biochemical tests are of different types, where the identification or distinction between
    Culture Media (66)
    different microorganisms is made on various bases.
    Difference Between (89)
    One of the traditional methods commonly used is a simple visual detection of the growth
    Diseases (29)
    of the organism in the presence of essential nutrients by increased turbidity in the liquid
    Environmental Microbiology (6)
    medium.
    In other tests, however, the results are based on the change in color of the medium as a Epidemiology (23)

    result of the change in the pH of the medium. Food Microbiology (49)

    Microorganisms can be classified into different groups on the basis of their reaction to Genetics (78)

    such tests. Some tests even allow the distinction of microorganisms to the species level. Human Anatomy and Physiology (70)
    Biochemical tests are thus, essential as they are inexpensive and relatively simple to Immunology (115)
    perform. Instrumentation (63)
    The physiology of bacteria and other microorganisms differs from one another, which
    Journals (1)
    allows for the differentiation of such microorganisms.
    Microscopy (28)
    Biochemical tests, however, have some disadvantages. Despite being inexpensive and
    Molecular Biology (66)
    allowing both quantitative and qualitative information about the diversity of
    Mycology (33)
    microorganisms present in a sample, these methods are laborious and time-consuming,
    Parasitology (25)
    and results are only observed after several days.
    In some cases, false positives are obtained, especially when considering similar microbial Pharmacology (14)

    species. Phycology (2)
