Aldol® 518 myo-inositol-1-phosphate is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of phosphatidyl-inositol specific phospholipase C activity (PI-PLC, EC 4.6.1.13). The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by PI-PLC or PI-PLC-positive microorganisms grown in liquid or solid media, yielding an intense red coloration. In combination with Aldol® 355 fluorescence enhancer, red fluorescence can also obtained. Aldol® 518 myo-inositol-1-phosphate is suitable for use in liquid and solid media, under aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions.

4-Methylumbelliferyl 2-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-a-L-fucopyranosyl)-b-D-galactopyranoside is a fluorescent substrate for β–galactosidase. It is used to detect the enzyme in biological samples and as a diagnostic agent. This substrate can be used to develop chemiluminescent, chromogenic, and fluorogenic substrates for use in diagnostics. 4MUF 2OBG can also be conjugated to various ligands for use in bioluminescence assays or as a marker in immunoassays.

Bacillus cereus is a rod-shaped β hemolytic bacterium commonly found in food and soil. Some strains can be associated with food intoxications, mainly from raw meat and poultry products. One example is the so called “fried rice syndrome”, that occurs when dishes containing cooked rice are left for several hours at room temperature. Typical symptoms of the infection include severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Some strains of Bacillus cereus on the contrary are not harmful at all and they are used as probiotics food additives in animal farming to reduce the presence of other pathogens like Salmonella in the cecum end intestine. Bacillus cereus expresses phosphatidyl-choline specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC), encoded by the plc gene, which is regulated by PlcR. In addition, the expression of PlcR is dependent on the growth medium. Luc-B.cereus Na (L-8275) is a synthetic chemiluminescent substrate for the phosphatidyl-choline specific phospholipase C. The enzyme cleaves off phosphocholine from L-8275, leading to the release of D-Luc, and consequent strong light emission B. cereus culture exhibited strong luminescence, while RLU values were much lower for samples with B. thuringiensis.

Benzocaine fructoside is a synthetic carbohydrate that is used as a local anesthetic. It is synthesized from benzocaine to produce a glycosylated form of the drug. This compound has been modified to include fluorine atoms, and it has been methylated with primary amines. The modification of this compound has produced a high-purity product that can be used for click chemistry.

4-Nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4,6-O-benzylidene-b-D-glucopyranoside is a fluorescent substrate for beta amylase and other glycosidases.

N-Acetyl-L-serine p-nitroanilide is a fluorescent probe used for the detection of glucose in urine. It has a high purity and is suitable for use as a substrate for many enzymes, including alkaline phosphatase, β-galactosidase, and peroxidase. N-Acetyl-L-serine p-nitroanilide has been shown to be an excellent indicator of bacterial growth in culture media.

BCIP is a dye that can be used as a substrate in a fluorometric assay to detect the presence of effector proteins. It is also used in analytical chemistry to detect phosphate, and as a reagent in diagnostic tests for mucin gene expression. BCIP has been shown to have transcriptional regulatory effects on genes encoding for proteins involved in antibody production. BCIP has been shown to act as an effector protein, which influences the amount of mRNA produced by the gene encoding for tissue culture cells. BCIP can also be used as a model system to study the regulation of transcription in vitro.
A hybridization technique using BCIP with DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II has been demonstrated and applied to analyze the mechanism of transcriptional control at the level of individual genes. The use of this technique allows for analysis at a single gene level and may allow for better understanding of transcriptional regulation.
