| Description |
Chromogenic substrate used for the detection of beta-glucosidase activity, resulting in a green-blue precipitate following hydrolysis when used under aerobic conditions. The substrate can be used for the detection of several microorganisms, including enterococci, Listeria spp., Klebsiella spp., and Enterobacter spp. |
To prevent deterioration, the product should be stored in tightly closed containers, under nitrogen, in a freezer or cold room at -20 degrees centigrade.
