    3.2.1.31 | analysis |
assay for beta-glucuronidase is able to distinguish Escherichia coli from other Escherichia species |

| 3.2.1.31 | analysis |
comparison of commercially available kits to assess water quality and evaluation of their ability to detect Escherichia coli. Chromocult, MI agar, Readycult, and Colilert detect beta-glucuronidase production from respectively 79.9, 79.9, 81.1, and 51.4% of the 74 Escherichia coli strains tested. These four methods detect beta-galactosidase production from respectively 85.1, 73.8, 84.1, and 84.1% of the total coliform strains tested. The high level of false-negative results for Escherichia coli recognition obtained by all four methods suggests that they may not be appropriate for identification of presumptive Escherichia coli strains |

| 3.2.1.31 | analysis |
comparison of commercially available kits used for the simultaneous detection of coliforms and Escherichia coli from water. Membrane lactose glucuronide agar, Colilert-18, MI agar, Colitag and Chromocult agar to detect beta-D-glucuronidase activity are tested with over 1000 isolates of Escherichia coli recovered from naturally contaminated water samples. Four of the media give very similar results but membrane lactose glucuronide agar fails to detect glucuronidase activity in 15.6% of the cultures tested |

| 3.2.1.31 | analysis |
construction of a noncompetitive homogeneous biosensor system for immunodetection of small molecules based on beta-glucuronidase complementation |

| 3.2.1.31 | analysis |
enzymatic assay adapted to study the fate of fecal coliforms in survival experiments, and appears to be rapid and efficient way to estimate the microbiological quality of surface waters. The major advantage of the enzymtic assay is the very short time response, and thus this method offers a powerful, rapid, and efficient way to estimate the microbiological quality of bathing and fishing areas, and to monitor disinfection efficiencies |

| 3.2.1.31 | analysis |
in environmental toxicology, techniques used to visualise lysosomes in order to determine their responses to pollutants are the lysosomal structural changes test and the lysosomal membrane stability test are based on the histochemical application of lysosomal marker enzymes. In mussel digestive cells, the marker enzymes used are beta-glucuronidase and hexosaminidase. beta-Glucuronidase, but not hexosaminindase, histochemistry provides an appropriate marker for the lysosomal structural changes test and that, although both lysosomal marker enzymes can be employed in the lysosomal membrane stability test, different values would be obtained depending on the marker enzyme employed |
697191 |
| 3.2.1.31 | analysis |
precise and reliable detection of Escherichia coli strains for differentiation from biochemically and ohylogenetically related bacteria. Method is based on polymerase chain reaction, in which four genes coding for lactose permease, cytochrome bd complex, beta-D-glucuronidase, and beta-D-galactosidase, serve as target DNA sequences |
698525 |
| 3.2.1.31 | analysis |
reporter enzyme which is used for studies in higher plants because endogenous activities are low and sensitive assays are available. A version of GUS with phenylalanine at the mature N-terminus accumulates a minimum of 3fold lower than GUS with methionine at its mature N-terminus. This altered protein can be useful for promoter studies which require more rapid changes in the accumulation of the reporter protein |
484862 |
| 3.2.1.31 | analysis |
Sulfolobus gene can be used as reporter in any thermophilic microorganism lacking an endogenous beta-glucuronidase activity |

| 3.2.1.31 | analysis |
the enzyme is useful in analysis of phytoestrogens and related compounds in human biofluids, e.g. urine |
