yes it have positive reaction for ONPG test
Bacillus subtilis is catalase positive, meaning it produces the enzyme catalase which can break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Gram positive
Bacillus subtilis is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacterium.
it is positive for starch hydrolysis
gram positive Exactly. When doing a gram stain on B. subtilis, this bacterium resists decolorization (keping the first stain and NOT taking on the color of the secondary stain). Therefore, this bacterium is gram (+).
blue/positive
Yes it is. Bacillus subtilis produces endospores?
No, Bacillus subtilis is not capable of fermenting lactose as it lacks the enzymes required for lactose metabolism. It is able to utilize other carbohydrates such as glucose and maltose for energy production.
bacillus subtilis
Bacillus subtilis is positive for the oxidase test. This means that it has the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which is needed for the bacterium to produce energy through aerobic respiration. The positive result is indicated by the appearance of a color change (usually dark purple) on the test strip after adding the reagent.
It's part of the Bacillus species, which also includes B. cereus (a common bacteria in food poisoning known for being present in poorly reheated rice). These two bacteria are spore forming gram positive bacilli (rods).
