The overall goal of this experiment is to demonstrate a simple modified litmus test for bacterial detection. This method describes how an E.coli-activated RNA-cleaving DNA enzyme can be coupled with a urease-based signal trandsduction platform to

We describe a protocol for colorimetric detection of E. coli using a modified litmus test that takes advantage of an RNA-cleaving DNAzyme, urease, and magnetic beads.
