Intended Use
For the selective separation and enumeration of enterococci in food and water.
Principle and Interpretation
Tryptone and peptone are the sources of nitrogen and essential growth factors. Yeast extract acts as well nitrogenous compounds and additionally the vitamin B12 complex. Sodium azide acts largely inhibits the growth of gram-negative bacteria while sparing enterococci, staphylococci and streptococci. Ox bile inhibits most gram positives but not enterococci. Enterococci hydrolyse esculin to esculetin and dextrose, which reacts with ferric citrate producing a brownish black precipitate around the colonies. Tolerance to bile and the ability to hydrolyze esculin is the traditional and reliable test for the identification of enterococci. (4). Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium and Agar is the solidifying agent.

Attogene’s PCR kit for Microcystin is designed for the In vitro analysis of the MycE gene region responsible for assembling part of the Microcystis peptide. The MycE gene region specific primer and probe mix is provided to be detected through the FAM channel on a qPCR machine. A sample of algae is obtained and washed to extract a clean algal gDNA sample. A reaction mixture is assembled from primers, probe, master mix, and gDNA samples as required. The qPCR machine of choice is set up and loaded as needed and the mixture undergoes PCR amplification. The Primer mix provided exploits the Taq polymerase to amplify the gene region of interest; while the DNA probe mixture is cleaved during amplification to release its FAM fluorophore. The resulting FAM release can be detected on a variety of qPCR platforms.
Real time qPCR kit
For screening microcystin gene cluster
Use in combination with Attogene Algae DNA isolation kit
DBCO-C2-PEG4-amine is a PEG linker which contains DBCO and amine moieties. The DBCO group is commonly used in copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. The amine group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde) etc. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.
