Engineering of Aeromonas caviae Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthase Through Site-Directed Mutagenesis for Enhanced Polymerization of the 3-Hydroxyhexanoate Unit

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase is an enzyme that polymerizes the acyl group of hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A (CoA) substrates. Aeromonas caviae PHA synthase (PhaCAc) is an important biocatalyst for the synthesis of a useful PHA copolymer, poly[(R)-3 ...

Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates in Unsterilized Hyper-Saline Medium by Halophiles Using Waste Silkworm Excrement as Carbon Source

Molecules, 2021
The chlorophyll ethanol-extracted silkworm excrement was hardly biologically reused or fermented by most microorganisms. However, partial extremely environmental halophiles were reported to be able to utilize a variety of inexpensive carbon sources to ...

Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production by Streptomyces plumbiresistensCCNWHX 13-160T [PDF]

, 2016
A novel  actinomycete isolated from sandy soil of Basrah province, Iraq, was identified by 16S rRNA sequencing as Streptomyces plumbiresistensCCNHWX 13_160T. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production by this strain was investigated.

Biosynthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoate from Steamed Soybean Wastewater by a Recombinant Strain of Pseudomonas sp. 61-3

Bioengineering, 2017
Pseudomonas sp. 61-3 accumulates a blend of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] homopolymer and a random copolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyalkanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HA)], consisting of 3HA units of 4–12 carbon atoms. Pseudomonas sp.

The Bistable Behaviour of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 during PHA Depolymerization under Carbon Limitation

Bioengineering, 2017
Poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) are bacterial polyesters offering a biodegradable alternative to petrochemical plastics. The intracellular formation and degradation of PHAs is a dynamic process that strongly depends on the availability of carbon and other

Recovery of the PHA Copolymer P(HB-co-HHx) With Non-halogenated Solvents: Influences on Molecular Weight and HHx-Content

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Biodegradable and biocompatible polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are promising alternatives to conventional plastics. Based on the chain length of their monomers they are classified as short chain length (scl-) or medium chain length (mcl-) PHA polymers. The
