For estimation of phenylalanine in blood For detection of Phenylketonuria (PKU).


PKU Test Agar Base is recommended for estimation of phenylalanine in blood for detection of Phenylketonuria (PKU). Cultural repsonse of Bacillus subtilis in presence of β-2-thienylalanine is studied using this medium. Small filter paper discs saturated with patients blood are placed on PKU Test Agar with b-2-thienylalanine inoculated with Bacillus subtilis along with control discs with different levels of L-phenylalanine. After overnight incubation, zones of growth around the paper discs are compared. A response comparable to 4 mg% control disc is considered as presumptive positive.
