Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To develop an efficient approach using a combination of phenotypic and genotypic methods for isolation of environmental bacteria that produce mid-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs). METHODS AND RESULTS: A viable-colony staining method using Nile red was used to screen for PHA-producing bacteria followed by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screen using primers to amplify the partial nucleic acid...
