Rapid detection of yeast enzymes by using 4-methylumbelliferyl substrates.

PMCID: PMC273796  PMID: 7009643

Abstract

In a preliminary study with a limited number of isolates, the usefulness of 17 4-methylumbelliferyl substrates for identifying yeast isolates was investigated. Substrates to detect acid phosphatase, glucosidase, and pyrophosphate diesterase showed promise.
