Population Dynamics in the Biogenesis of Single-/Multi-Layered Membrane Vesicles Revealed by Encapsulated GFP-Monitoring Analysis

Applied Microbiology, 2023
Various generations of membrane vesicles (MV) have been observed in Escherichia coli in terms of triggering events and populations of single-layered (s)/multi-layered (m) forms. Previously, we proposed a novel mechanism for MV generation triggered by the

Tailoring the Nucleation and Crystallization Rate of Polyhydroxybutyrate by Copolymerization

Biomacromolecules, 2023
In the polyester family, the biopolymer with the greatest industrial potential could be poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), which can be produced nowadays biologically or chemically. The scarce commercial use of PHB derives from its poor mechanical properties,

3-Hydroxybutyrate as a Metabolite and a Signal Molecule Regulating Processes of Living Organisms

Biomolecules, 2021
3-hydroxybutyrate (3-HB) as a very important metabolite occurs in animals, bacteria and plants. It is well known that in animals, 3-HB is formed as a product of the normal metabolism of fatty acid oxidation and can therefore be used as an energy source ...

Production and optimization of bioplastic (Polyhydroxybutyrate) from Bacillus cereus strain SH-02 using response surface methodology

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Background Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biopolymer formed by some microbes in response to excess carbon sources or essential nutrient depletion. PHBs are entirely biodegradable into CO 2 and H 2 O under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Enhanced polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production by newly isolated rare actinomycetes Rhodococcus sp. strain BSRT1-1 using response surface methodology

Scientific Reports, 2021
Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable polymer, synthesized as carbon and energy reserve by bacteria and archaea. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on PHB production by a rare actinomycete species, Rhodococcus pyridinivorans

Construction of an Antibiotic-Free Vector and its Application in the Metabolic Engineering of Escherichia Coli for Polyhydroxybutyrate Production

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
An antibiotic- and inducer-free culture condition was proposed for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production in recombinant Escherichia coli. First, antibiotic-free vectors were constructed by installing the plasmid maintenance system, alp7, hok/sok, and the ...
