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.

[@Shawty11587]

Why are in some of the tests the cupules also filled with bacterial suspension?

Je suis en TP avec mon prof de bio ca ma beaucoup aider merciii #TSTLB jean monnet 😂❤️❤️

[@achighen]

thank u!!

[@sebooz4949]

why you did single colony at the end?

[@JeremiahTang]

1. Testing for purity to ensure that your sample that went into the API was pure 2. So that you can have consistency if you want to do further testing with the same organism

2:06 thanks for your helpfull explanation but I think you're wrong because you're working outside the safe zone of Bunsen burner

Shouldn't use gloves if you're using a Bunsen flame
