Abstract Fatty acid monoesters of polyxyethylene sorbitan (Tween 40, Tween 60, Tween 80) were covalently linked with Remazol brilliant blue R. As a result, new water-soluble, dye-labelled fatty acid derivatives were obtained, suitable for the preliminary detection of lipolytic microorganisms in agar media. A simple and direct, highly sensitive and continuous plate-clearing assay was developed, based on the formatio of clearing-diffusion zones around substrate-degrading colonies.
