The document summarizes the results of a depolymerase assay performed on MAP plates using candidate marine isolates and control species to test for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase activity. The assay tested 8 candidate isolates and 5 control species at various dilutions on the MAP plates and measured PHA synthase activity by exposure time needed to detect fluorescence from Nile red staining at 356 nm using an Image Quant LAS 500 machine.
