BACKGROUND Functional bowel disorder(FBD)may be caused by a decrease in disaccharidase activity.Thus,the timely diagnosis of disaccharidase deficiency could lead to a better prognosis in patients with this condition.A...
Abstract: The aim of this study was to create a laboratory model of an amperometric microbial biosensor for maltose quantification in the presence and absence of starch and to estimate the use of the model in the stud...
