Application

Application Comment Organism
environmental protection the presence of coliforms in polluted water is determined enzymatically in situ by directly monitoring the activity of B-GAL through the hydrolysis of the yellow chromogenic subtrate, chlorophenol red beta-D-galactopyranoside, which produces a red chlorophenol red product, assay evaluation, overview Escherichia coli
