Animal fat and glycerol bioconversion to polyhydroxyalkanoate by produced water bacteria

e-Polymers, 2020
Oil reservoirs contain large amounts of hydrocarbon rich produced water, trapped in underground channels. Focus of this study was isolation of PHA producers from produced water concomitant with optimization of production using animal fat and glycerol as ...

Developing Bioprospecting Strategies for Bioplastics Through the Large-Scale Mining of Microbial Genomes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The accumulation of petroleum-based plastic waste has become a major issue for the environment. A sustainable and biodegradable solution can be found in Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), a microbially produced biopolymer.

Screening of polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing bacteria and PhaC-encoding genes in two hypersaline microbial mats from Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur, Mexico [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Hypersaline microbial mats develop through seasonal and diel fluctuations, as well as under several physicochemical variables. Hence, resident microorganisms commonly employ strategies such as the synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in order to ...

Lymphocyte Micronucleus Formation Is Driven by Inflammation‐Induced Oxidative DNA Damage in Oesophageal Cancer Development

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Chromosomal instability is a hallmark of cancer, but minimally invasive ways to detect systemic DNA damage and cancer risk remain limited. Here, using patient blood samples, the authors investigated lymphocyte micronuclei (MN) frequency as a potential marker of DNA damage across the progression from gastroesophageal reflux disease to Barrett's ...

Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.
