Rapid Test Kit for Tryptophan Deamination is used for differentiation of Proteus from Enteric Bacilli.
This test allows to differentiate members of the Proteeae from other members of the Enterobacteriaceae by the ability of organisms in the genera within the Proteeae to deaminate the NH2 group of tryptophan to ammonia and energy. Proteus, Providencia and Morganella species possess this capability. This reaction is very useful in the taxonomy of Enterobacteriaceae.
Reagent:
10 vials containing 1 mL medium each for tryptophan deamination activity.
