In microbial culture media, bromothymol blue sodium salt is an essential pH indicator that gives an indication of how acidic or alkaline the surrounding solution is.
In analytical chemistry, this dye is used for detecting the presence of proteins by binding to phosphatase enzyme. A blue complex is released, signifying the presence of proteins, when the phosphatase enzyme cleaves the bonds between dye and protein, so a blue complex is released that can be seen.
