Lipid hydrolysis monitoring in wastewater treatment: proof-of-concept for a high throughput vegetable oil emulsion based assay
Lipids are one of the main organic components in industrial and municipal wastewaters. Lipid hydrolysis is the first step in the biological conversion process and requires a close contact between lipid emulsion droplets and microbial hydrolytic enzymes. Adequate lipid hydrolysis monitoring is crucia...

We set out to develop a high-throughput lipid hydrolysis monitoring method based on vegetable oil model substrates and fluorescent quantification of product formation by exploiting the interaction with Rhodamine B.
