MEASUREMENT OF NUMBER OF MICROORGANISM

PURPOSE:To enable measurement of number of various kinds of microorganisms contained in a food in a short time in high sensitivity, by hydrolyzing a 7-amino- 4-methyl-coumarin with an enzyme of microorganisms contained in a specimen, subjecting the solution to fluorometry. CONSTITUTION:A 7-amino-4-m...

Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To enable measurement of number of various kinds of microorganisms contained in a food in a short time in high sensitivity, by hydrolyzing a 7-amino- 4-methyl-coumarin with an enzyme of microorganisms contained in a specimen, subjecting the solution to fluorometry. CONSTITUTION:A 7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin derivative shown by the formula (R is organic residue whose hydrolysis is not prevented by hydrolase of microorganism) is used a conventional 4-methyl-umbelliferone derivative. Namely, the derivative is added to solutions or suspensions containing a fixed specimen and different degrees of dilution before or after they are kept at 25-50 deg.C, and formed 7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin is measured by fluorometry. When the specimen has a high concentration, the derivative is added to a constant amount of the specimen, it is kept at 25-40 deg.C, and formed coumarin is measured.
