Rapid detection of yeast enzymes by using 4-methylumbelliferyl substrates.
In a preliminary study with a limited number of isolates, the usefulness of 17 4-methylumbelliferyl substrates for identifying yeast isolates was investigated. Substrates to detect acid phosphatase, glucosidase, and pyrophosphate diesterase showed promise.
