Improved Method for Detection of Glycosidases in Bacterial Colonies

摘要

An assay has been developed to detect bacterial glycosidases in colonies grown on the surface of agar plates. Advantages of this technique over previously described methods include elimination of the need for relilca plating, better visualization of chromagenic reaction products, and a simple premeabilization step to enable better penetration by chromagenic substrates.
