A pH and dye‐based fast procedure for screening l ‐asparaginase‐producing micro‐organisms is reported. The procedure is suitable for bacterial and fungal screening. The results are obtained within 24 and 48 h for bacteria and fungi, respectively. The results correlate with quantitative estimations in culture broths.
