This study was undertaken to investigate interference by acids commonly found in fruit juice in Escherichia coli assays involving the use of 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucuronide (MUG) as a fluorogenic substrate for enzyme reaction. Fluorescence intensity was negatively correlated (P < 0.001) with

The relationships between the beta-D-glucuronidase (GLUase) activity, the abundance of culturable Escherichia coli and the number of viable E. coli were investigated in river and wastewater samples. GLUase activity was measured as the rate of hydrolysis of 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucuronide. Culturable E.
