Preparation of alkyl (R)-(−)-3-hydroxybutyrate by acidic alcoholysis of poly-(R)-(−)-3-hydroxybutyrate

open access: yesEnzyme and Microbial Technology, 2000
An efficient method for the preparation of optically active alkyl (R)-(-)-3-hydroxybutyrates by chemical depolymerization of biopolymer, poly-(R)-(-)-(3-hydroxybutyrate), was established. This method consists of simple recovery of poly-(R)-(-)-(3-hydroxybutyrate) from bacterial cells followed by acidic alcoholysis. When poly-(R)-(-)-(3-hydroxybutyrate)

Degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) by poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) depolymerase from Alcaligenes faecalis T1

Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta - General Subjects, 1986
The extracellular poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) depolymerase purified from Alcaligenes faecalis T1 has two disulfide bonds, one of which appears to be necessary for the full enzyme activity. This depolymerase hydrolyzed not only hydrophobic poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) but also water-soluble trimer and larger oligomers of D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate, regardless of ...

Comparison of acellular and cellular bioactivity of poly 3-hydroxybutyrate/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite and poly 3-hydroxybutyrate scaffolds

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering, 2013
Nanocomposites have recently been identified as a useful scaffolding material in tissue engineering applications. Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)/hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (P3HB)/(nHA) porous scaffolds were successfully fabricated through a solvent casting and particulate leaching technique.

Anaerobic degradation of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate

Biodegradation, 1997
The anaerobic degradation of the polyesters poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) was investigated with special regard to intermediate products, kinetics, and yields. During the degradation of PHBV acetate, propionate, n-butyrate, and n-valerate were detected.

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) and maleated poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate)

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2002
AbstractThe thermal decomposition mechanism of maleated poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) was investigated by FTIR and 1H NMR. The results of experiments showed that the random chain scission of maleated PHB obeyed the six‐membered ring ester decomposition process.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Granule-Associated Proteins:  Impacts on Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Synthesis and Degradation

Biomacromolecules, 2005
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) represent a group of biopolymers that are synthesized by many bacteria as storage compounds and deposited as insoluble cytoplasmic inclusions. Because they have many putative technical and medical applications, PHAs may play an important role in human life in the future.

Nonisothermal crystallization and melting behavior of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and maleated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)

European Polymer Journal, 2002
Nonisothermal crystallization and melting behavior of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and maleated PHB were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry using various cooling rates. The results show that the crystallization behavior of maleated PHB from the melt greatly depends on cooling rates and its degree of grafting.

Photodegradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)

Polymer Degradation and Stability, 2010
Abstract The effect of ultraviolet radiation on the properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) was studied. The PHB investigated is produced from microbial fermentation using saccharose from sugarcane as the carbon source to the bacteria. The material was exposed to artificial UV-A radiation for 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks.

Enzymatic degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-based blends: poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/poly(ethylene oxide) blend

Polymer Degradation and Stability, 1992
Abstract The compatibility and biodegradability of a blend of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) were studied by analysis of differential scanning calorimetry and enzymatic degradation. The PHB/PEO blend exhibited a single glass-transition temperature (Tg) and the Tg values depended upon the blend composition, which ...
