✦ Synopsis


A replica plate screening tcchniquc.bascd on the acid molybdatc assay for detection of phosphate.has been dcvclopcd to permit the dctcction of microorganisms capable of mincrali/.ing organophosphonates. The method was filrther adapted as the basis of an activity stain for the detection of the carbon -phosphorus bond clcavagc cnzymc phosphonoacctatc hydrolasc in PAGE gels.
