arginine dihydrolase test procedure

The arginine dihydrolase test (ADH test) is a biochemical test used primarily to determine which bacteria can produce the enzyme arginine dihydrolase. This enzyme breaks down the amino acid arginine through a process called dihydrolysis. Arginine dihydrolase enzyme converts arginine into ornithine, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. This reaction causes a change in pH, which is … Read more
