Fig. 4From: An Arthrobacter citreus strain suitable for degrading ε-caprolactam in polyamide waste and accumulation of glutamic acidHPTLC of culture supernatant of A. citreus during utilisation of caprolactam. Detection of spots on chromatogram was done using ninhydrin reagent. After development of spots, plates were scanned for output of Rf and peak area (Table 2). 0 h sample/control medium (not shown) showed no spots. Loaded: Track 1: standard glutamic acid, Track 2: culture supernatant, Track 3: standard 6-ACABack to article page
