A simple procedure for quick identification of tryptophanase positive recombinant clones and tryptophanase regulatory mutants of bacteria

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Summary

A simple and rapid technique for quick identification of tryptophanase regulatory mutants and tryptophanase positive clones in a bacterial population is described. This method was used for the detection of tryptophanase regulatory mutants of Vibrio cholerae and tryptophanase positive recombinant clones of Escherichia coli.
