Detection of volatile sulfide-producing bacteria isolated from poultry-processing plants

T A McMeekin et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1978 Jun.

Abstract

A technique using filter paper strips impregnated with 5-5'-dithiobis-nitrobenzoic acid was developed to allow the detection of bacteria (isolated from poultry-processing environs) which produced volatile sulfides (H2S, CH3SH, [CH3]2S). The technique is preferred to conventional methods in that it allows the detection of volatile organic sulfides in addition to hydrogen sulfide.
