Let me guess, this question is for a lab write up in your microbiology class? When your bacteria, probably Bacillus cereus, act on starch they produce glucose. You have probably already done this lab but the bacteria will ferment the glucose. E.coli does not hydrolyze the starch because it does not produce amylase (which break down the starch into simple sugars).

α-Amylase - produces the disaccharide
maltose and the trisaccharide maltotriose.
β-Amylase - produces the disaccharide maltose
γ-Amylase - produces glucose.
All these products are reducing sugars and give a positive test with Benedict's Solution.

What does casease have in common with amylase?
Casease is an enzyme that is formed by some bacteria that decomposes casein and is used in ripening cheese. Amylase is any of a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of starch and glycogen or their intermediate hydrolysis products.
In which reaction mixture did hydrolysis of starch occur?
The Starch Hydrolysis by Amylase is the reaction mixture that leads to the hydrolysis of starch. This usually occurs during the metabolic reactions.
What is the chemical used to detect microbial starch hydrolysis on starch plates?
Gram's iodine
Is Pseudomonas aeruginosa positive for starch hydrolysis?
no it is negative
What is the substrate for pancreatic amylase?
The substrate for pancreatic amylase is starch. It is an enzyme, secreted in the pancreas, that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars.
What are the degradation products of enzymatic hydrolysis of starch?
Stages in the hydrolysis of starch: starch -> soluble starch -> amylodextrin -> erythrodextrin -> achrodextrin -> maltose -> glucose
What does casease have in common with amylase?
Casease is an enzyme that is formed by some bacteria that decomposes casein and is used in ripening cheese. Amylase is any of a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of starch and glycogen or their intermediate hydrolysis products.
What are the end products of starch hydrolysis?
When the starch is broken down, or hydrolyzed, the end product is glucose molecules.
Is bacillus subtilis positive or negative for starch hydrolysis?
it is positive for starch hydrolysis
In which reaction mixture did hydrolysis of starch occur?
The Starch Hydrolysis by Amylase is the reaction mixture that leads to the hydrolysis of starch. This usually occurs during the metabolic reactions.
How long did the starch react with achromatic point?
Achromatic means "without color." During a hydrolysis test, starch auger is used to grow bacteria. An iodine reagent is used to flood the plate. The starch is dyed a blue-brown color. Areas where the starch has been completely digested by the bacteria, are clear. That is known as the achromatic point, or the point at which all the starch has been consumed and the iodine does not dye the auger.
Does ecoli hydrolysis starch?
no
Chemical reaction by which starch is split into mono-saccharides?
Hydrolysis. This process uses water to break down molecules such as starch.
Polysaccharides are split apart to form monosaccharides in a reaction called?
This is a smart question. But the answer is simple it is a hydrogen reaction. - Hydrolysis.
What is the product of the hydrolysis of glycerol tristearate?
glyceryl tristearate product of hydrolysis
What enzyme begins the hydrolysis of starch?
ptyalin
What are the disaccharide product of the hydrolysis of starch?
Maltose
