H2S (hydrogen sulfide) Test:

This test is used to check for Enteric gram negative bacilli by checking for the enzyme thiosulfate reductase which is produced by various intestinal microorganisms. So if bacillus subtilis can produce this enzyme then this test will give you a pos. (black in color) result.

Yeah, no kidding. I'm pretty sure the question was what the result of it, or they wouldn't specify that it was b. subtilis. and it is positive for H2S production.

Does bacilus subtilis test negative for coagulase test?

Yes, Bacillus subtilis is negative for the coagulase test. Coagulase is an enzyme produced by some bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus) that causes blood plasma to clot, resulting in a positive test. Bacillus subtilis does not produce coagulase, so it will not clot the plasma and will have a negative test result.


What is Oxidase test results for 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.


Is Bacillus subtilis positive for lactose fermentation?

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.


What are the results for litmus milk test on Bacilus subtilis?

Bacillus subtilis will typically produce an alkaline reaction in litmus milk, turning it pink or purple. This is due to the bacterium's ability to break down lactose and produce ammonia. Additionally, Bacillus subtilis may also cause coagulation of the milk proteins, resulting in a solid clot formation.


What does h2s test for?

The H2S test, or hydrogen sulfide test, is used to detect the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas in a substance. It is commonly used in environmental monitoring, water testing, and industrial safety assessments. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless and highly toxic gas with a characteristic foul odor, often described as rotten eggs.


Reaction of Bacillus Megaterium in a catalase test?

Bacillus megaterium is catalase-positive, meaning it produces the enzyme catalase which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. In a catalase test, if Bacillus megaterium is added to hydrogen peroxide, you would observe the formation of bubbles or effervescence due to the release of oxygen gas. This is a positive catalase test result for Bacillus megaterium.

What is the difference between bacillus coccus and spirillum?

Bacillus subtillus will test positive when performing a VP and Citrate test. Also, bacillus cereus is much more motile. It isn't as dependable as the chemical tests, but the cereus colonies will appear wispy and more widespread on an agar plate than those of subtilis.


How is hydrogen sulfide production detected?

It has a bad smell that can be detected by our nose, even in small concentrations.Also, people could try taking a sample of air that contains hydrogen sulfide, and let it pass through a solution of lead nitrate, if the gas contained hydrogen sulfide then the solution will become black due to the lead sulfide that was produced.


Which makes the lead acetate paper black?

Lead acetate paper turns black in the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas. Hydrogen sulfide reacts with lead acetate to form lead sulfide, which is black in color. This reaction is commonly used as a test for the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas.
