Abstract
A pH and dye-based fast procedure for screening L-asparaginase produci ng micro-organisms is reported. The procedure is suitable for bacteria l and fungal screening. The results are obtained within 24 and 48 h fo r bacteria and fungi, respectively. The results correlate with quantit ative estimations in culture broths.
