title: Metachromatic agar-diffusion microslide technique for detecting staphylococcal nuclease in foods.
abstract: The metachromatic agar-diffusion (MAD) microslide technique was shown to detect nanogram quantities of staphylococcal thermonuclease in various foods without prior extraction, purification, or concentration.
