[Qualitative and quantitative examination of bacteria found in aquatic habitats. 2. Communication: application of miniturizid multitest systems for identification and biochemical typing of bacteria using a multi-point method (author's transl)].

A large number of bacteria were characterized and identified using a miniturized multi-test system and an automatic inoculator. This testsystem is suitable for ecological studies to get information about the qualitative and quantitative composition of bacterial populations. More than that a biochemical typing of bacteria is possible.
