Characterize Your Contaminant: Gram staining, Catalase testing

Gram staining and catalase testing are lab tools that when considered together help you assess what threat a contaminant might pose. It’s not what each test tests for that’s the point really, it’s more about identifying characteristics that differentiate groups of bacteria, so you know what you’re likely to be dealing with.

All flavors have a threshold of detection, but we can take that information and make even better use of what those flavors mean to us.
