GELATIN HYDROLYSIS TEST Purpose :
Determination of the ability of the organisms to digest (hydrolyse) gelatin, as a sole source of protein by activity of the gelatinase enzyme. Materials : 1. Aeromonas hydrophila on BA. 2. Escherichia coli on BA.
2
GELATIN HYDROLYSIS TEST Media & Reagents :
1. Gelatin agar plates. 2. Acid mercuric chloride solution Method : 1. Inoculate by cross streaking of 1 & on each of gelatin plates. 2. Incubate at 370C for 24 hrs.
3
GELATIN HYDROLYSIS TEST Interpretation :
Before reading, flood the cultures with acid mercuric chloride, leaving for 5-10 minutes. Positive : clear zone around colony. Negative : no clear zone around colony.
4
GELATIN HYDROLYSIS TEST
Positive : clear zone around colony. Negative : no clear zone around colony.
5
STARCH HYDROLYSIS TEST Purpose :
To determine the ability of the organism to produce amylase enzyme which digests or hydrolyses starch. Materials : 1. Bacillus subtilis on BA. 2. Escherichia coli on BA.
6
STARCH HYDROLYSIS TEST
Media & Reagents : 1. Two starch agar plates. 2. Lugol’s iodine solution. Method : 1. Inoculate 1 & 2 on each of starch agar plate. 2. Incubate at 370C for 24 hrs.
7
STARCH HYDROLYSIS TEST Interpretation :
Flood the cultures with Lugol’s solution, and remain for 5-10 minutes. Positive : clear zone around colonies. Negative : no clear zone around colonies. Remark : Some orgamisms, produce weak reaction, clear zone present under colonies.
8
STARCH HYDROLYSIS TEST
Positive : clear zone around colonies. Negative : no clear zone around colonies.
9
CASEIN DIGESTION TEST Purpose : Materials :
To determine the ability of organisms to produce caseinase (proteinase) enzyme which digest casein. Materials : 1. Aeromonas hydrophila on BA. 2. Escherichia coli on BA.
10
CASEIN DIGESTION TEST Media & Reagents : Method :
Two casein agar plates. Method : 1. Spot inoculation of 1 & 2 on each of casein agar plates. 2. Incubate at 370C for 24 hrs.
11
CASEIN DIGESTION TEST Interpretation :
Positive : clear zone around colonies. Negative : no clear zone around colonies.
12
Lecithinase & Lipase activities Purpose :
LECITHOVITELLIN REACTION (LV) Lecithinase & Lipase activities Purpose : To determine the ability of the organisms to produce lecithinase or/and lipase. The enzymes are demonstrated by cultivation on egg yolk agar.
13
Lecithinase & Lipase activities
LV REACTION Lecithinase & Lipase activities Materials : 1. Bacillus cereus on BA. 2. Aeromonas hydrophila on BA. 3. Bacillus subtilis on BA. Media & Reagents : Two egg yolk agar plates.
14
LV REACTION Lecithinase & Lipase activities Method : Spot inoculate 1, 2 & 3 on each of L-V agar plate Incubate at 370C for 24 hrs. Reaction : Zone of opalescent around colony indicated lecithinase activity against lecithovitellin in egg yolk and precipitation around colony indicated lipase activity.
