These include glucose fermentation test, hydrolysis of L-arginin (Kleven and Levisohn, 1996) and
digitonin sensitivity test (Power and Jordan, 1976).
Mollicute isolates were confirmed using a Dienes probe, and Mycoplasma genera were identified with a
digitonin sensitivity test (WHITFORD et al., 1994; RAZIN & TULLY, 1996).
Purified liver mitochondria (1 mg) were suspended in 50 mM Bis-Tris and 500 mM 6-aminocaproic acid (pH 7.0) and solubilized by adding
digitonin (detergent : protein ratio of 1 : 5).
Behavior of crayfish rhodopsin and metarhodopsin in
digitonin: The 510 and 562 nm "visual pigments" are artifacts.
Tetramethyl rhodamine methyl ester (TMRM) is suitable for cytofluorometric measurements of mitochondrial membrane potential in cells treated with
digitonin. Biosci Rep 19(1):27-34, https://doi.org/10.1023/A: 1020193906974.
(1998) depicted milk treatment with saponin and
digitonin at various concentrations and reported that removal of cholesterol from milk was not dependent upon the concentration of cholesterol removing agent.
Furthermore, they found that perturbing the outer membrane of mitochondria with
digitonin or other mitochondria-damaging molecules inhibits the uptake process.
