Standard Six Functional Groups for a Soil Microbial Profile

Six Functional Groups are analyzed for both concentration and diversity. These functional groups are evaluated for agricultural soils, turf, and biological products. The groups include:

• -Heterotrophic Bacteria (Aerobic)
• -Anaerobic Bacteria (including facultative anaerobes)
• -Yeasts and Molds (Fungi)
• -Actinomycetes
• -Pseudomonads
• -Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria (Free living)

Other functional groups of microorganisms can be analyzed, please ask for assistance.

Non Standard Functional Groups also available for soil analysis

• -Chitin Degrading Microorganisms
• -Mycorrhizae
• -Sulfate Reducing Bacteria
• -Cellulose Degrading Bacteria
• -Iron Reducing Bacteria
• -Denitrifying Bacteria
• -Nitrifying Bacteria
