Figure 5. B. amyloliquefaciens UCMB5113 related activity on different substrates.

A branch pattern with massive groups of bacteria observed after 4 days of incubation period indicated swarming motility; bright pink color indicated the hydrolysis of urea to carbon dioxide and ammonia; siderophore biosynthetic cluster produced a clear zone on CAS agar; chitin degradation and utilization as carbon source; expressed hemolytic activity on blood agar; phosphate solubilization around bacteria apparent as a transparent zone; amylase activity on starch medium; aqueous drop collapse to assess production of biosurfactants.
