Application

Indoxyl acetate:
  • has been used to prepare free indoxyl for fermentor feeds and for in vitro 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase inactivation assays
  • may be used as the potential substrate for the evaluation of carbonic anhydrases (CAs) esterase activity
  • may be used to prepare indoxyl acetate differential disk to evaluate the indoxyl acetate hydrolysis test for the differentiation of Campylobacter species

Biochem/physiol Actions

Indoxyl acetate (IA) can be used as a substrate to detect acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. It may also have the potential to be used as a suitable substrate for fast and easy detection of lipase activity.

We recently analyzed 11 helicobacter isolates cultured from diarrhea patients in Canada. These isolates had been characterized biochemically by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP; AluI, HhaI) analysis and by fatty-acid analysis as Helicobacter pullorum. However, four of the isolates differed
