Abstract
A slide microtest for gelatin liquefaction is described. Members of the genera Cloaca, Bacillus and Clostridium were tested with varying results. A limitation of the method is its ability to detect only ready-formed enzyme. The main advantage is that small amounts of culture are needed and the organisms may be grown under any se lected conditions.
