| Abstract: | M. ALSINA AND A.R. BLANCH. 1994. Two biochemical keys for fast and presumptive identification of certain Vibrio species are presented. They constitute a new improved version of a set of keys previously described, which were specially designed for environmental and clinical isolates. They may be used for Gram-negative, oxidase-positive, facultative anaerobes that grow on TCBS agar. The revised set of biochemical keys consists of 29 tests and a maximum of 10 tests is still sufficient for the most complicated identification. The new keys maintain the same criteria and characteristics of the original set of keys. |
