High Polyhydroxybutyrate Production in Pseudomonas extremaustralis Is Associated with Differential Expression of Horizontally Acquired and Core Genome Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthase Genes
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06)
Pseudomonas extremaustralis produces mainly polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a short chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate (sclPHA) infrequently found in Pseudomonas species. Previous studies with this strain demonstrated that PHB ...
Regulation of Polyhydroxybutyrate Synthesis in the Soil Bacterium Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-07)
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a carbon and energy reserve polymer in various prokaryotic species. We determined that, when grown with mannitol as the sole carbon source, Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens produces a homopolymer ...
Biocomposites based on renewable resource: Acetylated and non acetylated cellulose cardboard coated with polyhydroxybutyrate
(Elsevier, 2009-10)
Renewable resource based bilayer films were prepared from polyhydroxybutyrate film (PHB) and cellulose cardboard via compression molding, containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% of PHB. The effects of PHB contents on moisture ...
Biodegradable double-layer films based on biological resources: Polyhydroxybutyrate and cellulose
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2007-10)
A novel biocomposites double‐layer films using polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and cellulose paper were produced. The biocomposites were prepared by the solvent‐casting method (with chloroform). Films of the blends were characterized ...
Visualising the concept of metabolic regulation in bacteria: a simple laboratory experiment on polyhydroxybutyrate storage
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-05)
Regulation is a key concept for understanding the dynamics of metabolism in bacteria. This report outlines a simple laboratory experiment aimed at studying a key form of regulation in bacterial metabolism, exemplifying how ...
Impaired polyhydroxybutyrate biosynthesis from glucose in Pseudomonas sp. 14-3 is due to a defective β-ketothiolase gene
(Oxford University Press, 2006-11)
Pseudomonas sp. 14-3 accumulates polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from octanoate, but not from glucose. To elucidate this unusual phenotype, genes responsible for the synthesis of PHB were cloned and analyzed. A PHB polymerase ...
Plant growth-promoting bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens FR1 secrets a novel type of extracellular polyhydroxybutyrate polymerase involved in abiotic stress response in plants
(Springer, 2018-10)
Objectives: Identification of novel microbial factors contributing to plant protection against abiotic stress. Results: The genome of plant growth-promoting bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens FR1 contains a short mobile ...
Understanding the intracellular-to-extracellular localization switch of polyhydroxybutyrate polymerase in pseudomonas backgrounds as a microevolutionary process
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-11)
After gene duplication, paralogous genes evolve independently, and consequently, the new proteins encoded by these duplicated genes are exposed to changes in their subcellular location. Although there are increasing evidence ...
