Abstract
A method for the detection of microorganisms brings a sample suspected of containing a microorganism into contact with an aqueous phase reaction medium containing a carbon source and a resorufin marker. The reaction medium is incubated with the sample suspected of containing a microorganism and the fluorescence of the marker during or after incubating is observed. An observed decrease in emitted light indicates the presence of a microorganism.
