| Summary: | BactFinder© is an interactive and mobile application built to facilitate bacteria
identification. As widely known, bacteria are composed of large domains of
prokaryotic microorganisms which are various in types, hence the identification
of these bacterial groups requires a systematic and orderly identification process.
Through this mobile app, experimental results from biochemical and bacterial
morphological tests carried out in the laboratory before hand must be submitted
to the application before bacterial identification can be performed. Previously,
academics user and students have to refer to many references such as research
books and related academic journals in order to finalise their bacteria
identification. This process, of course, will take relatively longer time and less
effective. This BactFinder© mobile application is equipped with a database of
19 types of biochemical tests including bacteria morphology. The database was
built based on Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, Bergey’s Manual of
Determinative Bacteriology and other related scientific journals. The BactFinder©
mobile app has been proved able to provide fast (± 2 seconds) and precise
responses in helping students and academics user in the process of identifying
bacteria species in the lab. This application is also suitable for undergraduate,
post-graduate and academicians in the field of microbiology, biotechnology and
science in general. |
