Preparation and characterization of environmentally safe and highly biodegradable microbial polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) based graphene nanocomposites for potential food packaging applications.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2020
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural polyester of microbial origin and is an excellent substitute for petroleum-based food packaging materials. However, moderate mechanical, thermal and barrier properties limit utilization of PHB for commercial food ...

Screening of the strictly xylose-utilizing Bacillus sp. SM01 for polyhydroxybutyrate and its co-culture with Cupriavidus necator NCIMB 11599 for enhanced production of PHB.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable plastic that can be used as an alternative to petrochemical-based plastics. PHB is produced by various microorganisms such as Ralstonia, Halomonas, and Bacillus species.

Enhancement of polyhydroxybutyrate production by introduction of heterologous phasin combination in Escherichia coli.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2022
Phasin is a surface-binding protein of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) granules that is encoded by the phaP gene. As its expression increases, PHA granules become smaller, to increase their surface area, and are densely packed inside the cell, thereby ...

Polyhydroxybutyrate in Azospirillum brasilense

2015
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a polyhydroxyalkanoate produced by several bacteria as carbon storage and reductive equivalents sink. The production of PHB has been reported for several plant-associated bacteria, and especially in Azospirillum brasilense, the production of PHB has been associated as a factor for stress endurance.

New Biodegradable Polyhydroxybutyrate/Layered Silicate Nanocomposites

Biomacromolecules, 2007
Poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/layered silicate nanocomposites were prepared via melt extrusion. The nanostructure, as observed from wide-angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, indicates intercalated hybrids. The extent of intercalation depends on the amount of silicate and the nature of organic modifier present in the layered ...
