Physicochemical characterization of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) produced by the rare halophile Brachybacterium paraconglomeratum MTCC 13074

Microbial Cell Factories
Background Polyhydroxybutyrate is a biopolymer produced by bacteria and archaea under nitrogen-limiting conditions. PHB is an essential polymer in the bioplastic sector because of its biodegradability, eco-friendliness, and adaptability.

Polyhydroxybutyrate: An intriguing biopolymer

Bioscience Reports, 1988
The microbial polymer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and related poly-hydroxyalkanoates, such as poly-3-hydroxyvalerate and poly-3-hydroxyoctanoate, are unique biodegradable thermoplastics of considerable commercial importance. The structure, properties and regulation of synthesis and degradation of PHB are reviewed and the microbial production of ...

The Optimization Conditions of Polyhydroxybutyrate Methyl Ester from Polyhydroxybutyrate via Acid-Catalyst

Energy Procedia, 2017
Abstract Recently, microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) were proposed as an alternative biofuel, termed 3-hydroxyalkanoate methyl ester (3HAME). PHA is a strong candidate to make biofuels and be used in the fuel additive market today. However, an optimization study of 3HAME from PHA has never been reported.

Regulation of Polyhydroxybutyrate Synthesis in the Soil Bacterium Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens [PDF]

, 2016
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a carbon and energy reserve polymer in various prokaryotic species. We determined that, when grown with mannitol as the sole carbon source, Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens produces a homopolymer composed only of 3 ...

A purple non-sulfur bacterium producing polyhydroxybutyrate and the conserved region of pha synthase gene

Bioscience Journal, 2016
This study aimed to screen purple non-sulfur bacteria capable of accumulating granules or polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) inside the cells, identify the potent strain, assay the enzyme or PHA synthase, and compare the PHB synthase gene with that of related ...

Elucidation of Beta-Oxidation Pathways in Ralstonia Eutropha H16 by Examination of Global Gene Expression [PDF]

, 2010
Ralstonia eutropha H16 is capable of growth and polyhydroxyalkanoate production on plant oils and fatty acids. However, little is known about the triacylglycerol and fatty acid degradation pathways of this bacterium. We compare whole-cell gene expression
