Possible errors in assay for beta-glycosidase activity.

R W Chadwick1, J C Allison, D L Talley, S E George.   

Abstract

Cecal homogenates were assayed for the enzymes beta-glucosidase, beta-glucuronidase, and beta-galactosidase. Anaerobic incubation with the addition of excess 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene, a substrate for nitroreductase, significantly increased the detection of the beta-glycosidase enzymes' activities.
