Aims: To evaluate a newly developed microscale quantitative suspension test compared to the existing standard suspension test using determination of the bactericidal and yeasticidal activity of glutaral as one step to improve the sustainability of disinfectant testing.
Methods: The testing principles of the quantitative suspension test according to VAH method 9 (comparable to EN 13727) was used as a standard suspension test using 8.0 mL product test solution, 1.

Among the four known Streptococcal nucleases comprising of DNase A, B, C and D; DNase B is the most common, and determination of the levels of antibody to DNase B (ADB) is often used to confirm a clinical diagnosis of Streptococcus pyogenes/group A Streptococcal (GAS) infection. The commonly used assays for antibodies that neutralize DNase B or streptolysin O activity use partially purified antigens that often fail to detect antibody changes subsequent to culture documented infections. Therefore, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed employing his-tagged recombinant DNase B as plate antigen for comparison to the commonly used DNA methyl green micromethod (DMGM).

A 96-well plate micromethod was developed to measure 5-n-alkylresorcinols (5nARs) in cereal grains and food derived products. The 5nARs reacted in alkaline alcoholic medium with Fast Blue RR ½ZnCl2 salt to yield coloured azo-derivatives. The highest sensitivity for 5nARs was obtained at 490 nm with 0.

It is based on cultivation of halophilic bacteria Halobacterium salinarum (former Halobacterium halobium), possessing mevalonate pathway of sterol biosynthesis, and cultivation of fungus Acremonium fusidioides (former Fusidium coccineum), that is producer of steroid antibiotic fusidin (fusidic acid), which biosynthesis has great similarity (with coincidence of its initial steps till squalene formation) to cholesterol biosynthesis in human organism. In H.

A highly effective and simple microbial test system for screening inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis (ISB) is described. The system is based on cultivation of the bacterial strain Halobacterium salinarum (former Halobacterium halobium), that possesses mevalonate pathway of sterol biosynthesis and is much similar in the biosynthesis to cholesterol formation in humans. In the H.
