Test Results!

Today, we checked the results from all the tests we performed on Tuesday. Our unknown bacteria was positive for gelatin hydrolysis. It also fermented glucose and sucrose, but not lactose, using the Durham tube tests. Our bacteria was negative for the Methyl red test, but positive for the Voges-Proskauer test. Our bacteria had a red slant and a yellow butt with a gas bubble for the TSIA test, which means only glucose was fermented. We will check the litmus milk test next week.

P.S. Sorry all of the pictures are sideways.
