Heterologous expression and characterization of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase genes from haloarchaeal strains in Haloferax mediterranei [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionPolyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are promising materials for building a sustainable society due to their excellent biodegradability. Some haloarchaea, which require high salt concentrations for growth, possess class III PHA synthases (PhaECs) and

Study on the production of high 3HV content PHBV via an open fermentation with waste silkworm excrement as the carbon source by the haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Silkworm excrement is hard to be degraded or bio-utilized by environmental microorganisms due to its high content of heavy metals and antimicrobial biomacromolecules in mulberry leaves. In traditional Chinese silk industry, the silkworm excrement results
