Biochemical Characteristic Study of Isolated Bacterial Colonies from Bat Guano

The purpose of present work was to study the biochemical characteristic of isolated bacterial colonies from bat guano. The morphological characteristic were also carried out. Isolated colonies from yellow and green moist guano were biochemically tested for formulation of sugar. Colonies of yellow and green moist guano showed that micro-organism fermented all the four sugar viz lactose, sucrose, manitol and glucose with the production of acid and gas. IMVIC test was performed and the result depicted presence of indole and methyl red. Neither of the colony produced acetyl methyl carbinol and thus all were VP negative.
