This video introduces you to API strips which are used for the identification of microorganisms including bacteria and yeast. The strips provide a quick and reliable means of testing and the "strip" is a series of wells consisting of different biochemical tests. The video shows how to use a bacterial inoculum to seed the wells and prepare the strip for incubation.
