Specific and sensitive plate assay for bacterial lipases.
A plate assay to detect bacterial lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) in a medium containing trioleoylglycerol and the fluorescent dye rhodamine B is presented. Substrate hydrolysis causes the formation of orange fluorescent halos around bacterial colonies visible upon UV irradiation. The logarithm of lipase activity from cell-free culture supernatants is linearly correlated with the diameter of halos, thereby...
متن کاملA specific and sensitive assay for disulfides.
A specific and sensitive assay for disulfide groups has been developed, based on reduction with dithioerythritol or dithiothreitol and determination of the resulting monothiols with 5,5’-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) in the presence of arsenite. The dissociation constants for the complexes formed between arsenite and dithioeqthritol, dithiothreitol, 1,3-dithioglycerol, and 1,2-dithioglycerol h...
متن کاملBacterial lipases for biotechnological applications
Lipase genes originating from the Gram-negative bacteria Serrutiu marcescens and Pseudomonus urruginosa were cloned. S. marcescens lipase was overexpressed in Escherichia coli yielding inclusion bodies which were purified and finally refolded to give enzymatically active lipase. The lipase operon of P. aeruginosa consisting of genes 1ipA and lip14 was cloned behind the T7 410 promoter and overe...
متن کاملBacterial lipases and chronic blepharitis.
Eyelids and conjunctivae of 36 normal individuals and 60 patients from six clinical groups of chronic blepharitis were cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The most common species isolated were coagulase-negative staphylococci (C-NS) and Propionibacterium acnes. All strains of these species, and all Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated were tested for the ability to break down triglyc...
متن کاملA Sensitive DNA Enzyme-Based Fluorescent Assay for Bacterial Detection
Bacterial detection plays an important role in protecting public health and safety, and thus, substantial research efforts have been directed at developing bacterial sensing methods that are sensitive, specific, inexpensive, and easy to use. We have recently reported a novel "mix-and-read" assay where a fluorogenic DNAzyme probe was used to detect model bacterium E. coli. In this work, we carri...
