What is the name of the enzyme responsible for gelatin hydrolysis?
The enzyme responsible for gelatin hydrolysis is gelatinase.
Why did you refrigerate the gelatin cultures before observing them for liquefaction?
To indicate whether gelatin had been hydrolyzed by those cultures or not. If gelatin hydrolysis occurs, liquefaction occurs even afterrefrigerationto indicate a positiveresult. If gelatin hydrolysis does not occur, the gelatin will solidifies afterrefrigeration
Is staphylococcus aureus positive for gelatin hydrolysis?
Bacillus cereus is positive for gelatin hydrolysis. This bacteria is capable of hydrolyzing gelatin(a protein), thus, a nutrient gelatin medium inoculated with this bacteria will remain liquid when placed in an ice bath (don't agitate).the bacteria had proteases that is responsible for the hydrolysis of the gelatin..

How can gelatin hydrolysis be beneficial to certain bacteria?
Gelatin hydrolysis is the ability of certain microorganism to use the enzyme gelatinase to proteolytically hydrolyze gelatin. This means they can break the bonds between the amino acids and use them as nutrients. This helps them establish themselves and can even make them more pathogenic.
What test is used for determining the ability of bacteria to break down protein?
Gelatin Hydrolysis Test
How does streptococcus test for gelatinase?
The gelatin hydrolysis test is used to test if a microbe produces gelitinase. If the gelatin turns liquid that means gelatinase is present. Streptococcus is one of many strains that can be tested this way.
How to produce gelatin hydrolysate?
Hydrolysis is the decomposition of materials in water and usually involves strong acid or alkaline pH. In the case of gelatin (which is a protein) it is hydrolysed in alkaline solution with heat, so something like a few grams per litre of caustic soda will make a solution which decomposes gelatin when heated. The solution of decomposed gelatin is referred to as gelatin hydrolysate.
How do you melt gelatin in water?
Gelatin dissolves best in Hot or boiling water and if possible by using the double boiling method. In cold water Gelatin dissolves at a much slower pace and then reaches a point where it stops dissolving. In both cased constant stirring of the mixture is recommended.
Explain how lipid hydrolysis can be correlated with the pathogenicity of a bacterium?
A very loose correlation can be made between breaking down gelatin and the ability to breakdown tissue. The scientific process can only be replicated within a lap environment but with the constant evolution of bacterium it is possible at some point for the gelatin and tissue correlation to be much stronger.
Why can't vegetarians eat gelatin?
No. Pescatarians eat seafood, along with an otherwise vegetarian diet. Gelatin is typically manufactured from cloven animals (e.g. hooves). That being said, if a pescatarian chooses to eat gelatin or gelatin containing products, that would be his/her choice. Pescatarians only eat fish. There is gelatin made from fish, but it is not commonly available.
