摘要

Many bacteria have the ability to reduce aromatic nitro compounds and the detection of nitroreductase activity may offer a useful means of analysing biological and environmental samples for the presence of microorganisms. The reduction of a series of seven non- fluorogenic nitrocoumarins 1 to their corresponding fluorogenic hydroxylamine derivatives 2 or amine derivatives 3 has been recently investigated for 30 strains encompassing 24 ...
