Gelatin hydrolysis test. After 30 minutes in an ice bath, the nutrient gelatin tube inoculated with Bacillus subtilis exhibited positive gelatin hydrolysis as shown by medium liquefaction. Gelatin hydrolysis was observed after 3 days of incubation. (Thomas Edison dela Cruz and Jeremy Martin O. Torres, University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines)

Gelatin hydrolysis test using the nutrient gelatin plate method. Positive gelatin hydrolysis exhibited by Bacillus subtilis (A) is indicated by the clear zone around the colony after the addition of saturated ammonium sulfate. Negative gelatin hydrolysis exhibited by Escherichia coli (B) is indicated by the absence of a clearing zone around the colony. Inoculated culture plates were incubated for 24 hours.
