Sulfate-reducing bacteria determination and control

Sulfate-reducing bacteria are detected by preparing a lysate so as to release an enzyme essential to derive energy by reduction of sulfate such as adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase (APS reductase), contacting the lysate with an antibody of the enzyme, and detecting the presence of the react...

Zusammenfassung:Sulfate-reducing bacteria are detected by preparing a lysate so as to release an enzyme essential to derive energy by reduction of sulfate such as adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase (APS reductase), contacting the lysate with an antibody of the enzyme, and detecting the presence of the reaction product of the enzyme and the antibody. In one aspect, sulfate-reducing bacteria are controlled responsive to such assay. In another aspect, a "test kit" is provided for carrying out the assay.
