Aldol® 484 beta-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic enzyme substrate for beta-galactosidase activity. The colorless product is cleaved by lactose-utilizing bacteria in liquid or solid media, yielding intense red color. Aldol® 484 beta-D-galacto-pyranoside can also be used in beta-gal reporter gene assays or for identification of beta-gal positive transformants on agar. Aldol® 484 beta-D-galactopyranoside can be used under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
