what is the substrate in Urease test? what is the enzyme in urease test? what is the pH indicator in the urease test? what is the end products in the urease test? what genera is the urease test helpful in identifying?
The substrate in Urease test is Urea.
The enzyme is an exoenzyme which is Urease.
pH indicator useased in Urease test is the phenol red. The pH indicator is phenol red, which is red at neutral pH but turns yellow at pH < 6.8.
The end product of Urease test is ammonia and carbon dioxide.
Urease Test determine the ability of microorganisms to degrade urea by means of the enzyme urease.The purpose is to see if the microbe can use the compound urea as a source of carbon and energy for growth. Primarily urease test used to distinguish urease-positive Proteeae from other Enterobacteriaceae
