Test Results!!!

So, at the end of last week we prepared five different tests to see if our unknown bacteria H had any hydrolytic enzymes (digestive enzymes). The results though were less then impressive though. Here they are:
Starch test: Negative
Casein Test: Negative
Lipid Test: Negative
Gelatin Test: Negative
Litmus Milk: Negative

Here are the pictures

Gelatin Test
So we basically decided that our bacteria is boring. Anyway, not much came from those tests. This bacteria is really resisting our detective efforts. Well, we won't be discouraged! The last thing we did was prepare one more series of tests. These were to see if our bacteria breaks down any sugars. We tested Glucose, Fructose, Lactose, and triple sugar iron. 


Hopefully we get some results!
