Identifying bacteria based on growth, metabolism, and environmental factors (like oxygen needs, temperature, and pH).

Analyzing bacterial cell walls, nutrient use, and metabolic products to identify bacteria. Morphology is excluded.

Differentiating bacteria based on metabolic and enzyme activities by testing for specific reactions.

Used to see if bacteria can ferment sugars, and if so, what byproducts are created, like gas or acid.

Examining the metabolic pathways and enzymes in bacteria using specific tests.

A test whether bacteria produce gelatinase, an enzyme that breaks down gelatin.

Looking for enzymes in bacteria that break down milk protein (casein).

Casease breaks down casein into smaller molecules for bacteria.

A test for bacteria that create H2S from sulfur compounds.

The medium becomes liquid after gelatin is broken down by bacteria, signaling gelatinase activity.
