    摘要: A method for selectively determining a fungal biomass by detection of a fungal enzymatic activity that is present in substantially all fungal species, such as enzymes involved in chitin metabolism (chitinase, chitin synthase, chitosanase, N-acetyl-glucosaminidase and &bgr;-N-acetylhexosamidase). The invention can be used for detecting a fungal biomass in environmental samples, food products, plant material, building materials, industrial fungal cultures or sample from a human being or animal including blood samples. In particular, 4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetyl-&bgr;-D-glucosaminide is used as substrate for &bgr;-N-acetylhexosamidase (EC 3.2.1.52). This enzyme activity correlates with the amount of fungal biomass present in a sample.

    摘要: A rapid method for detecting the presence or absence of coliform bacteria in a liquid or liquified dairy sample, for example skimmed milk. A growth medium containing a fluorogenic substrate is combined with the sample and is incubated for a brief period of about 7-9 hours after which a single fluorescence value is measured. Total or thermotolerant coliform bacteria are determined to be present in the sample if the single fluorescent measurement exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

    摘要: A method is provided for determining the activity of an enzyme which releases methylumbelliferone (MU) from an MU-containing substrate wherein the enzyme has a pH optimum below the pKa of MU comprising: contacting a sample suspected of containing the enzyme with the MU-containing substrate at a pH suitable for activity of the enzyme to allow release of MU by the enzyme; contacting the sample with light of a wavelength in the range of about 310 nm to about 350 nm; determining fluorescence produced by the released MU, thereby determining the activity of the enzyme. This real time method provides improved diagnostic methods, for example for diseases associated with an abnormal level of activity of a glycosidase. The real time assay also can be used to screen compounds for their ability to modulate enzyme activity using MU-containing substrates.

    摘要: Compounds of formula (I) 1 in which R1,R2,R3,R4 and R5 are hydrogen atoms or chromogenic substituents and X is hydroxyl, OR6 wherein R6 is selected from the group consisting of C1-C4 alkyl, or OnullMenull wherein Menull is a cation derived from an organic or inorganic base; these compounds do not exhibit significant fluorescence but are capable of being cleaved by phosphatidyl-inositol-specific phospholipase C, an enzyme which is indicative of bacterial activity; the umbelliferyl moity resulting from such cleavage is a strong fluorogen thus providing effective test methods for various pathogenic bacteria, such as Listeria, Staphylococcus and Clostridium species. Also disclosed are plating media for detection of microorganisms that are capable of metabolic generation of a phosphatidyl inositol-specific phospholipase C (PInullPLC). The plating medium can be in a dry, liquid, or semi-liquid form, depending upon its water content, and comprise at least one compound capable of forming an aqueous gel when in contact with water; at least one nutrient capable of supporting growth of said microorganism; and at least one indicator compound of formula I and/or IV, notably 4-methylumbelliferyl myo-inositol-1-phosphate or salts thereof and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl myo-inositol-1-phosphate or salts thereof. PInullPLC generated by the microorganisms of interest leads to cleavage of the indicator compounds causing formation of fluorescence and/or color suitable for identification of type and count of such hygienically and pathologically important microorganisms as Listeria species.
