Beschreibung

Application

In Anwesenheit von Sauerstoff können ein paar Bakterien, z.B. E. coli, Tryptophan in Indol und alpha-Aminopropionsäure aufspalten. Dieses Reagenz dient zur Detektion von Indol und zur Identifizierung von indol-positiven und indol-negativen Mikroorganismen.

Kovac′s reagent may be used for spot test for determination of indole by saturating filter paper with the reagent.[1] It may also be used for initial spot test for determination of indole followed by quantification by spectrophotometric assay and HPLC-UV/Vis-MS/MS methods.[2]

General description

Kovac′s reagent is prepared by mixing p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, isoamyl alcohol and concentrated hydrochloric acid.[3] For identification of an organism, the formation of Indole from a tryptophan substrate is a useful diagnostic tool. Indole production is a crucial test in identification of Escherichia coli. After incubation, adding the reagent will help in determination if Indole that has been produced. The reagent turns red when reacts with Indole.[4]
