The only nitrogen source test

The only nitrogen source test is to detect the ability of bacteria to utilize different nitrogen sources (inorganic nitrogen). Nitrogen is an essential nutrient element for the synthesis of cellular material by microorganisms. Whether bacteria can grow with different inorganic nitrogen (nitrate nitrogen or ammonium nitrogen) reflects the ability of bacteria to synthesize and can be used as an indicator of bacteria identification.
