Anaerobic degradation of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate
Biodegradation, 1997The anaerobic degradation of the polyesters poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) was investigated with special regard to intermediate products, kinetics, and yields. During the degradation of PHBV acetate, propionate, n-butyrate, and n-valerate were detected.

AbstractThe thermal decomposition mechanism of maleated poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) was investigated by FTIR and 1H NMR. The results of experiments showed that the random chain scission of maleated PHB obeyed the six‐membered ring ester decomposition process.

A chemical degradation of 3-hydroxybutyric acid
Analytical Biochemistry, 1978Abstract A method is described for degrading 3-hydroxybutyric acid to obtain specifically and in good yield each of its carbons as CO 2 . The hydroxybutyrate is dehydrated to crotonic acid which is reduced to butyric acid. The butyric acid is then degraded stepwise utilizing the Schmidt reaction.

Assay of 3-hydroxybutyrate in the picomolar range
Biochemical Medicine and Metabolic Biology, 1991A radioisotopic procedure for the assay of 3-hydroxybutyrate is presented. It is based on the measurement of NADH, generated in the 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase reaction, through the conversion of 2-[U-14C]ketoglutarate to 14C-labeled L-glutamate in the presence of beef liver glutamate dehydrogenase.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) represent a group of biopolymers that are synthesized by many bacteria as storage compounds and deposited as insoluble cytoplasmic inclusions. Because they have many putative technical and medical applications, PHAs may play an important role in human life in the future.

Nonisothermal crystallization and melting behavior of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and maleated PHB were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry using various cooling rates. The results show that the crystallization behavior of maleated PHB from the melt greatly depends on cooling rates and its degree of grafting.

The Oxidation of 3‐Hydroxybutyrate in Developing Rat Jejunum
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1991SummaryKetone bodies and glutamine are the primary oxidative substrates in the intestine of fasting adult rats. Because suckling rats consume the majority of their calories in the form of lipid and as a result have elevated blood ketone concentrations similar to fasting adult rats, we examined the role of ketone oxidation as a source of energy in the ...

Photodegradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)
Polymer Degradation and Stability, 2010Abstract The effect of ultraviolet radiation on the properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) was studied. The PHB investigated is produced from microbial fermentation using saccharose from sugarcane as the carbon source to the bacteria. The material was exposed to artificial UV-A radiation for 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks.

Two D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) dehydrogenases, BDH1 and BDH2, were isolated and purified from a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)-degradable bacterium, Ralstonia pickettii T1. BDH1 activity increased in R. pickettii T1 cells grown on several organic acids as a carbon source but not on 3HB, whereas BDH2 activity markedly increased in the same cells grown

A flow-injection system with an immobilized enzyme reactor is proposed for the determination of 3-hydroxybutyrate. 3-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase is immobilized on aminated poly(vinyl alcohol) beads and packed into a stainless-steel column (4 cm x 4 mm I.D.). Serum is diluted and filtered.
