<p>A medium for microbiological examination prepared by treating medium components containing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) with an acid phosphatase and a method of microbiological examination by using the ATP-luciferase technique with the use of this medium. In a microbiological examination by the ATP-luciferase technique with the use of this medium, the light emission due to the medium is stably suppressed to an extremely low level, which makes it unnecessary to fear measuring troubles due to the light emission by any substance other than microorganisms. The examination method with the use of the medium can be conveniently effected and achieves a high accuracy and a high reliability.</p> |
