Polyhydroxybutyrate production by freshwater SAR11 (LD12). [PDF]

ISME J
Abstract SAR11 bacteria (order Pelagibacterales) are oligotrophs and often the most abundant bacterioplankton in aquatic environments. A subset of sequenced SAR11 genomes, predominantly in the brackish and freshwater SAR11 subclades, contain homologs of pha genes, which in other organisms confer the ability to store carbon and energy via

Biodegradation Studies of Polyhydroxybutyrate and Polyhydroxybutyrate-co-Polyhydroxyvalerate Films in Soil

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Due to increased environmental pressures, significant research has focused on finding suitable biodegradable plastics to replace ubiquitous petrochemical-derived polymers. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a class of polymers that can be synthesized by microorganisms and are biodegradable, making them suitable candidates.

Polyhydroxybutyrate biosynthesis in Caulobacter crescentus: molecular characterization of the polyhydroxybutyrate synthase [PDF]

Microbiology, 2001
Caulobacter crescentus was investigated with respect to polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthesis. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) accumulation contributing to approximately 18% of the cell dry weight was obtained in the presence of glucose. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gel permeation chromatography of the purified PHA showed that this polyester ...

Polyhydroxybutyrate As A Biopolymer

International Journal of Advanced Research in Science, Communication and Technology, 2022
This project is about the use of biopolymer (PHB) as an alternative form in place of non-biodegradable plastic, many types of research have been done on this polymer which shows it sharesa similar application as that of conventional plastic and also are biodegradable and biocompatible.
