Question

You have isolated a bacterium from a contaminated river but you are unable to culture it in the laboratory. Which method could you use to identify the organism

Answer 1

DNA sequencing

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA sequencing is the method which can be used in order to identify the bacterium that was isolated from the contaminated river. DNA sequencing is the process in which the sequence of nucleotides is determined that is present within a DNA molecule. For identifying the bacterium, the sample of bacteria is collected. After sample collection is completed, genomic DNA is extracted from the bacteria and DNA sequencing will be done of that bacteria.
