Enhanced polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production by newly isolated rare actinomycetes Rhodococcus sp. strain BSRT1-1 using response surface methodology

Scientific Reports, 2021
Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable polymer, synthesized as carbon and energy reserve by bacteria and archaea. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on PHB production by a rare actinomycete species, Rhodococcus pyridinivorans

On the Role and Production of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Life, 2020
The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is known for producing polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) under unbalanced nutrient conditions. Although many cyanobacteria produce PHB, its physiological relevance remains unknown, since previous studies concluded ...

Determination of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Content in Ralstonia eutropha Using Gas Chromatography and Nile Red Staining

Bio-Protocol, 2018
Ralstonia eutropha H16 produces and mobilizes (re-utilizes) intracellular polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) granules during growth. This protocol describes the visualization of intracellular Nile red stained PHB granules and the quantification of PHB by gas ...

Synthesis and characterization of branched multiblock copolymers of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) autoxidized fatty acid and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The branched multiblock copolymer based on fatty acid, methyl methacrylate and PHB was first time synthesized. Autoxidation is the reaction of unsaturated fatty acids with air oxygen leading to macroperoxide initiators. Poly (3-hydroxy butyrate), PHB, is

No conclusive evidence that difficult general knowledge questions cause a “Google Stroop effect”. A replication study [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Access to the digital “all-knowing cloud” has become an integral part of our daily lives. It has been suggested that the increasing offloading of information and information processing services to the cloud will alter human cognition and metacognition in

The effect of inoculum and glucose addition on polyhydroxyalkanoate production by Brevibacterium sp. B45

Menara Perkebunan, 2021
Petroleum-based plastics are the major cause of environmental pollution because the plastics need years to be degraded. The difficulties in handling waste of petroleum-based plastic have motivatedresearchers to produce environmentally friendly plastic ...

In vivo and Post-synthesis Strategies to Enhance the Properties of PHB-Based Materials: A Review

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
The transition toward “green” alternatives to petroleum-based plastics is driven by the need for “drop-in” replacement materials able to combine characteristics of existing plastics with biodegradability and renewability features.
