Abstract:
A new medium was developed for detecting esterase and gelatinase activities in aerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria. The new medium was tested with various strains of bacteria and the results showed agreement between the reactions in the new medium and those obtained by conventional techniques. The new medium is more economical and may be used for a rapid differentiation of Serratia, Aeromonas and Vibrio species from biochemically similar bacteria.
