Evaluation of new chromogenic substrates for the detection of coliforms

Aims: To evaluate a new range of chromogenic substrates for the detection of ß-galactosidase activity in coliforms and to compare their performance in agar media and broths.Methods and Results: Sixteen novel galactoside substrates were prepared and incorporated into agar and broth. Their performan...
