Question
Chapter 7, Problem 20Q
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Three capabilities of enzymes that are used to identify microbial species in a clinical lab.
Concept introduction:
Each microbial species is different from other species. The microbes are identified and classified on the basis of these features. Several biochemical and physical tests are performed to distinguish the species.
