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.
