I just did a lab report on microbial diversity in my bio 2 lab last semester. We did ours on microbes found in various fresh water sources. We used eco-plates which were basically a plastic plate with 96 wells (if I remember correctly) divided into 3 sets of 32 wells. One well was used as a control, and the other 31 were filled with various carbon substrates. If the well turned purple, then there was a microbe in that sample that metabolized the substrate.
Let me know if you need any help as I have some experience with this. As far as the ecoplate goes, it is only useful for microbes.
