Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates using sewage and cheese whey
Heliyon, 2023 Recently, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have been produced using raw sewage in our laboratory; however, the production concentrations are low. Therefore, this study aimed to enhance PHA production by applying different strategies.

Polyhydroxyalkanoate Producing Potential of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Fountain Journal of Natural and Applied Sciences (FUJNAS), 2018 Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are inclusion bodies accumulated by some microorganisms as reserve material under unbalanced growth condition such as limited oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous or sulphur and excess carbon source.

Is atomic rearrangement of type IV PHA synthases responsible for increased PHA production? [PDF]
Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 2014 Background: Type IV PHA synthase is a key enzyme responsible for catalyzing the formation of non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable short-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (scl-PHA) under the growth-limiting conditions in the members of the genus Bacillus. Results: The comparative in vitro and in silico analysis of the phaC subunit of type IV PHA

Polyhydroyxalkanoate Synthase Fusions as a Strategy for Oriented Enzyme Immobilisation
Molecules, 2014 Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a carbon storage polymer produced by certain bacteria in unbalanced nutrient conditions. The PHA forms spherical inclusions surrounded by granule associate proteins including the PHA synthase (PhaC).

Analysis of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase gene and PHA-producing bacteria in activated sludge that produces PHA containing 3-hydroxydodecanoate [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2013 Activated sludge is an alternative to pure cultures for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production due to the presence of many PHA-producing bacteria in activated sludge community. In this study, activated sludge was submitted to aerobic dynamic feeding in a sequencing batch reactor.

Inhibitors of Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Synthases: Synthesis, Molecular Docking, and Implications [PDF]
ChemBioChem, 2014 AbstractPolyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthases (PhaCs) catalyze the formation of biodegradable PHAs that are considered to be ideal alternatives to non‐biodegradable synthetic plastics. However, study of PhaCs has been challenging because the rate of PHA chain elongation is much faster than that of initiation.
