Book excerpt: Bacteria isolated from palm oil mill effluent (POME) were screened for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). The isolates were first stained with Sudan Black B to detect for lipidic cellular inclusions. Positively-stained isolated were considered to be potential PHA-producers and were subjected to further screening. They were grown in a nitrogen-limiting E2 medium containing either palm olein (PO) or saponified palm olein (SPO) as the carbon source.Cells which grew in these media were stained with the PHA-specific Nile Blue A.
