The ortho-nitrophenol (ONPG) test and acid from lactose in Gram-negative genera.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The results are given of the ortho-nitrophenol test for beta-galactosidase production (ONPG test) on 588 strains of 123 aerobic species of bacteria, representing 30 genera. Apart from some strains of Erwinia herbicola (synonym Chromobacterium typhiflavum) and of Yersinia spp, these strains were not members of the Enterobacteriaceae, in which family the ONPG test is widely used and well documented. The strains were also tested for acid production from 1, 5, and 10% lactose and the findings are discussed in relation to the ONPG test.

Mechanisms of lactose utilization by lactic acid streptococci: enzymatic and genetic analyses.
The apparent instability of beta-galactosidase in toluene-treated cells or cell-free extracts of lactic streptococci is explained by the fact that these organisms do not contain the expected enzyme. Instead, various strains of Streptococcus lactis, S. cremoris, and S. diacetilactis were shown to hydrolyze o-nitrophenyl-beta-d-galactoside-6-phosphate (ONPG-6-P), indicating the presence of a diff...

We present the draft whole-genome sequence of a Vibrio cholerae strain (Vc25-3) isolated from Drakes Bay, California. This environmental isolate has an atypical morphology and is ortho-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactoside (ONPG)-negative.
متن کاملBeta-galactosidase and Lactose Fermentation in the Identification of Enterobacteria including Salmonellae.
One hundred and fourteen strains of non-lactose fermenters and 127 lactose fermenters on MacConkey's agar have been compared in the 5% and 1% lactose tests and in beta-galactosidase production, using ortho-nitro-phenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (O.N.P.G.) as a test substance. The superiority of the O.N.P.G. test in the number of positive results and its rapidity is shown. In general, late or non...
متن کاملAntarctic marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. KNOUC808 as a source of cold-adapted lactose hydrolyzing enzyme
Psychrophilic bacteria, which grow on lactose as a carbon source, were isolated from Antarctic polar sea water. Among the psychrophilic bacteria isolated, strain KNOUC808 was able to grow on lactose at below 5°C, and showed 0.867 unit of o-nitrophenyl β-D-galactopyranoside(ONPG) hydrolyzing activity at 4°C. The isolate was gram-negative, rod, aerobic, catalase positive and oxidase positive. Opt...

In some people the inadequate amount of Beta-galactosidase enzyme, in layer of villous epithelium of the small intestine, causes the disorder of lactose intolerance. This examination was done to observe the existence of Beta-galactosidase enzyme that is produced by separated Lactobacillus from samples of dairy products (milk and cheese). Materials and Methods: Pasteurized and local...
