Natural Polyhydroxyalkanoates—An Overview of Bacterial Production Methods
MoleculesPolyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are intracellular biopolymers that microorganisms use for energy and carbon storage. They are mechanically similar to petrochemical plastics when chemically extracted, but are completely biodegradable.

The Genomic Impact of Mycoheterotrophy in Orchids
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Mycoheterotrophic plants have lost the ability to photosynthesize and obtain essential mineral and organic nutrients from associated soil fungi. Despite involving radical changes in life history traits and ecological requirements, the transition from ...

Mesophotic corals in Hawai'i maintain autotrophy to survive low-light conditions. [PDF]
Proc Biol SciIn mesophotic coral ecosystems, reef-building corals and their photosynthetic symbionts can survive with less than 1% of surface irradiance. How depth-specialist corals rely upon autotrophically and heterotrophically derived energy sources across the ...

Physiology, phylogeny, and LUCA
Microbial Cell, 2016 Genomes record their own history. But if we want to look all the way back to life’s beginnings some 4 billion years ago, the record of microbial evolution that is preserved in prokaryotic genomes is not easy to read. Microbiology has a lot in common with

Using Stable Isotope Analyses to Assess the Trophic Ecology of Scleractinian Corals
Oceans, 2022 Studies on the trophic ecology of scleractinian corals often include stable isotope analyses of tissue and symbiont carbon and nitrogen. These approaches have provided critical insights into the trophic sources and sinks that are essential to ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Acetogens can fix carbon (CO or CO2) into acetyl-CoA via the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway (WLP) that also makes them attractive cell factories for the production of fuels and chemicals from waste feedstocks.

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.With a thermotolerant C. necator mutant the SCP production costs can be decreased by $0.98/kg. ABSTRACT Autotrophic CO2 conversion to Single Cell Protein (SCP) using H2 and O2 is gaining commercial traction for food and feed production. Cupriavidus necator H16 is a key chassis organism for this “knallgas” fermentation, but industrial operation is ...
