How can you tell if something is spore forming or non spore forming ?
How do you identify spore forming bacteria in culture media?
take the material you are culturing, and streak for isolation. repeat if necessary to get distinct colonies. let the plate "age" for 4-5 days (you may want to rig up a way to keep the humidity up so the plate doesn't dry up). perform a gram stain and observe for spore formation. then the colonies can be subcultured and you can play around with it as much as you want to.
