A modified m-CP medium for enumerating Clostridium perfringens from water samples.

Can. J. Microbiol. 34 , 78, (1988)

Medium m-CP, designed for the isolation of Clostridium perfringens from water samples, contains indoxyl beta-D-glucoside, an expensive chemical that is present at a high concentration in this medium. The use of m-CP with three concentrations of indoxyl beta-D...

[Determination of indican in Polygonum tinctorium ait. in various growth periods].

Distribution, diversity, and seasonality of waterborne salmonellae in a rural watershed.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 75(5) , 1248-55, (2009)

Salmonella outbreaks from contaminated water and nonanimal foods (e.g., produce) are increasingly reported. To address the environment as a potential source of pathogenic Salmonella, we investigated levels of salmonellae and the geographic and temporal variat...

Beta-glucosidase-catalyzed hydrolysis of indican from leaves of Polygonum tinctorium.

Biotechnol. Prog. 18(5) , 1104-8, (2002)

In this article, a HPLC method to identify and quantify the dyes and the indigo precursors produced in Polygonum tinctorium is described. Using this technique, indican has been positively identified in extracts of P. tinctorium. Our work with two cultivars of...

Indoxyl-beta-D-glucuronide, a novel chromogenic reagent for the specific detection and enumeration of Escherichia coli in environmental samples.

Can. J. Microbiol. 34(5) , 690-3, (1988)

About 97% of Escherichia coli strains produce beta-glucuronidase, but almost all other Enterobacteriaceae lack this enzyme. A D-glucopyranosiduronic acid (glucuronide) possessing a readily detectable beta-linked aglycone should, therefore, constitute a specif...
