| Abstract |
Five methods for detecting degradation of gelatin by bacteria were compared. These were liquefaction in nutrient broth, hydrolysis in nutrient agar, hydrolysis of charcoal gelatin strips, degradation of the gelatin on strips of photographic film, and alkalinization of gelatin agar. Degradation of photographic film is a rapid and convenient method but, like hydrolysis of gelatin in broth and in agar, may fail to detect weakly positive strains of bacteria. Alkalinization of gelatin in an agar medium is a convenient and sensitive method to detect degradation of gelatin, particularly by Pseudomonas fluorescens, but this method may not be applicable to some species. |
