Both conjugates are new dye-labelled substrates suitable for the assay and detection of chitinase and lysozyme activity. A reliable colorimetric microassay adapted to microtitre plates was established, based on the precipitability of carboxymethyl-chitin-Remazol Brilliant Violet 5R from buffered solutions with hydrochloric acid. Furthermore, sensitive plate-clearing assays were developed for the isolation and detection of chitinolytic microbial populations, and for the screening of pure cultures UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PMNqjdYjnoNc741w-ZXMiJQ1v6hWGB3G/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
