PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for measuring the kind( or both kind and number ) of microorganisms or cells in a shorter time depending on no use of any selective medium. SOLUTION: The method comprises the step (1) of inoculating an agar medium with microorganisms or cells as a measurement sample( hereafter referred to as an initial sample ), the step (2) of forming the colony or culture-grown product of the initial sample( hereafter referred to as colony en bloc ) and detecting the shape of a grown product at a stage prior to the colony's growing to a visible size( hereafter referred to as a microcolony ) and the step (3) of identifying the kind of the initial sample based on the detection result of the microcolony's shape. Optionally, the initial shape of the microcolony, the time to arrival for enabling detection as the microcolony, or the like, are also served as identification requirement(s).
