Although this species is commonly found in soil‚ more evidence suggests that B. subtilis is a normal gut commensal in humans. As a model organism B. subtilis is commonly used in laboratory studies directed at discovering

Biology Revision Notes Biochemical Tests: Proteins - add biurettes reagent to the sample. If protein is present‚ clear colour change from blue to purple. Reducing Sugars – add Benedict’s reagent to the sample. Heat in Bunsen or water bath. If reducing sugars are present‚ clear colour changes from blue -> orange red precipitate. Lipids – dissolve sample in ethanol. Slowly pour the solution into the water slowly. If lipids are present a white emulation forms on the surface. Starch – add iodine

Section 1 : Identifying the Genetic Material Griffith’s Experiments In 1928‚ Frederick Griffith‚ a bacteriologist‚ was trying to prepare a vaccine against pneumonia. A vaccine is a substance that is prepared from killed or weakened disease-causing agents‚ including certain bacteria. The vaccine is introduced into the body to protect the body against future infections by the disease-causing agent. Griffith discovered that harmless bacteria could turn virulent when mixed with bacteria that cause
