Poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid in staphylococci [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1989 Poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) was extracted from various species of staphylococci isolated from different sources. IR and UV spectrophotometry and NMR analysis revealed that the compound consisted only of the β-hydroxybutyrate. The PHB level in the richest strain among investigated staphylococci is about 64-fold less than in bacilli.

Regulation of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate biosynthesis by nicotinamide nucleotide in Alcaligenes eutrophus [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1995 Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate biosynthesis was studied in Alcaligenes eutrophus under various nutrient-limiting conditions. When the cells were cultivated in nitrogen-limited media, both the levels of NAD(P)H and the ratios of NAD(P)H/NAD(P) were higher than those under nitrogen-sufficient conditions.

Utilization of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate in free-living cultures ofRhizobiumORS571 [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1986 The effect of carbon starvation on growth and poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) utilization in oxygen-limited chemostat cultures of Rhizobium ORS571 was studied. Under oxygen-limited growth conditions PHB was not degraded. When in a nitrogen-fixing oxygen-limited culture, after stopping the medium supply, the dissolved oxygen concentration was maintained at

Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate metabolism inAzospirillum brasilenseand the ecological role of PHB in the rhizosphere [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992 Azospirillum brasilense is a rhizosphere microorganism which has potential use for promoting plant growth in economically important crops. Its ability to survive the adverse conditions imposed by nutrient starvation and competition in the rhizosphere is of great importance. A.
