Microbial Identification

We use molecular methods to identify microbes based on their DNA sequences. This is more accurate than identifying microbes based on morphology or physiology.

Bacterial / Fungal identification

• Identification to genus level – R600.00 excl. VAT
• Identification to species level – R1300.00 excl. VAT

Bacterial / Fungal Plate Counts

With the use of non-selective, selective or differential media, we can determine the colony forming units (CFU) of a given sample.

Examples of microbes:

• Total bacteria
• Total fungi
• Bacillus spp.
• Rhizobium spp. or Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
• Trichoderma spp.

Please contact us to discuss your specific microbial need.
