PHENOTYPIC AND GENOTYPIC METHODS FOR CHARACTRIZATION OF MICROBIAL ISOLATES FROM WETLANDS Methods used for discrimination of genera, species, and isolates can be divided into phenotypic and genetic procedures. Phenotypic procedures take advantage of biochemical, physiological, and biological phenomena, whereas genetic procedures aim to detect polymorphisms at the level of nucleic acids or to detect allelic variation at the level of enzymes (Louws //et al., // 1999).
