Pyrosequencing and Microbial Identification Image Credit: Parilov / Shutterstock.com Traditionally, microbial identification techniques have used staining, culturing, and biochemical tests to conduct phenotypic identification. However, recent years have seen progress in the methods available to conduct microbial identification, with more powerful biochemical and immunological techniques being established. Here, we discuss the method of pyrosequencing and how it is used for microbial identification. What is pyrosequencing? Pyrosequencing is a type of DNA sequencing that can be used for microbi...
