title: Calorimetric characterization of microorganisms.
abstract: A short survey is given on recent calorimetric studies of microbial growth, which raised the question whether calorimetrically obtained thermograms can be used for identification of different organisms. Advantages and the efficiency of the method are critically discussed.
