Introduction
Registration Form
The four-day workshop program includes lectures
and hands-on training sessions on
Bacteria are microorganisms which are found
ubiquitously in food, soil and water
environments. They can either be beneficial or
harmful to these various ecosystems, or they may
have no impact at all. The use of various types
of bacteria in biotechnology demands for their
rapid and accurate identification. Therefore,
this workshop is aimed to provide hands-on
training on molecular techniques for bacterial
identification.
