A simple, rapid assay for screening penicillin G acylase-producing bacteria is presented. The method is based on the formation of yellow 2-nitro-5-aminobenzoic acid by penicillin G acylase acting on 2-nitro-5-phenylacetaminobenzoic acid (NIPAB). NIPAB test paper is briefly applied to bacterial colonies on the agar surface, which are subsequently scored individually on the paper by color; bright yellow indicates the presence of penicillin G acylase, natural color its absence. The present method is suitable not only for screening penicillin G acylase-production by a variety of bacteria but also for detection from a large number of transformant colonies of clones containing a gene encoding for the enzyme.
本文介绍了一种用于筛选产青霉素G酰化酶细菌的简单、快速检测方法。该方法基于青霉素G酰化酶作用于2-硝基-5-苯乙酰氨基苯甲酸(NIPAB)生成黄色的2-硝基-5-氨基苯甲酸。将NIPAB试纸短暂地贴在琼脂表面的细菌菌落上,随后根据试纸上菌落的颜色分别进行评分;亮黄色表明存在青霉素G酰化酶,自然颜色则表明不存在。本方法不仅适用于筛选多种细菌产生的青霉素G酰化酶,还适用于从大量含有该酶编码基因的克隆转化菌落中进行检测。
