Abstract A simple and rapid method is described for the detection of amylase-producing micro-organisms on solid media using Remazol Brilliant Blue-starch as substrate. The blue starch is incorporated into nutrient agar and amylase production is detected by the disappearance of the colour around the colonies. The method which is non-destructive, allows for direct visualization and isolation of amylolytic micro-organisms from the environment without prior replication of colonies.
