Lab 10/13: Starch and Caesin Hydrolysis

(Preserving our environmental bacteria)






We found that our bacteria grew in anaerobic conditions, as well as aerobic conditions; therefore, it’s a facultative aerobic bacteria. There was more growth on the top of the Thioglycolate broth, but it still grew throughout the tube. Our next tests are the Starch Hydrolysis Test and the Caesin Hydrolysis Test. We inoculated a Starch Agar plate and another plate for Casein. We also took our environmental bacteria (collected from the bathroom door handle) and put it in a container, where it will be preserved.
