Define what is a minimal medium and the nature of its components.
You have used morphological observations and biochemical tests to identify two unknown bacterial isolates in your practical sessions, briefly describe three other techniques that can be used to identify unknown bacteria (you can use any reliable online resources). Note: These must not be based on biochemical tests (enzyme use, acid production etc) or morphological characteristics (size, shape, structures).
