Class IV polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthases and PHA-producing Bacillus
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2015This review highlights the recent investigations of class IV polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthases, the newest classification of PHA synthases. Class IV synthases are prevalent in organisms of the Bacillus genus and are composed of a catalytic subunit PhaC (approximately 40 kDa), which has a PhaC box sequence ([GS]-X-C-X-[GA]-G) at the active site, and ...

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Biosynthesis from Whey Lactose
Macromolecular Symposia, 2008AbstractSummary: The potential of three different microbial wild type strains as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) producers from whey lactose is compared. Homopolyester and co‐polyester biosynthesis was investigated by the archaeon Haloferax mediterranei and the eubacterial strains Pseudomonas hydrogenovora and Hydrogenophaga pseudoflava. H.
