Abstract
A procedure to test beta-glucosidase was developed for identification of the mycobacteria. One hundred and thirty-three strains representing 17 species were assayed in a buffered system containing whole cells and the substrate p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucoside. Qualitative differences between species indicated that the test was useful in discriminating among the mycobacteria.Entities:
