As a portion of a micro lab, I have had my students isolate bacteria from
soil. We are now in the process of identifying the isolates. Pseudomonas
and Bacillus spp. are predominant, but we have isolated a small Gram - cocci
(tiny). Can anyone provide a list of typically isolated bacteria from soil?
Any suggestions as to the identity of the Gram negative cocci?
Our isolation method has selected for aerobes and facultative anaerobes that
are non-fastidious (grow well on trypic soy agar at 37 C).Thanks in advance.
