A new chromogenic compound, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl-beta-D-glucuronide, was found to be useful for the rapid, specific, differential identification of Escherichia coli in the sanitary analysis of shellfish and wastewater. Of 1,025 presumptively positive colonies (blue) and 583 presumptively negative colonies (nonblue), only

A new instrument, capable of detecting metabolic changes due to microbiological activity, is described. Optical changes in growth media are monitored in a semi-fluid zone that separates the liquid medium containing the sample. Data demonstrate that common media can be

5-Br-4-Cl-3-Indoxyl-alpha-D-gluco(pyrano)side was found to be the most suitable synthetic substrate for the demonstration of alpha-D-glucosidases in situ. Using an azoindoxyl procedure with hexazotized pararosaniline or new fuchsine at pH 5 in freeze-dried celloidine-mounted cryostat sections acid alpha-D-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) was

Chemiluminescent assays of various enzymes have been developed using indoxyl derivatives as substrates. The principle of the method is as follows: an enzyme causes hydrolysis of an indoxyl derivative to an intermediate indoxyl that is readily oxidized to indigo dye
