Role of polyhydroxybutyrate in mitochondrial calcium uptake [PDF]

Cell Calcium, 2013
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biological polymer which belongs to the class of polyesters and is ubiquitously present in all living organisms. Mammalian mitochondrial membranes contain PHB consisting of up to 120 hydroxybutyrate residues. Roles played by PHB in mammalian mitochondria remain obscure.

Systematically Engineering for Efficient Production of 3‐Methyl‐1‐Butanol in Escherichia coli

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 21, 13 April 2026.
An integrated metabolic engineering strategy was established for high‐level 3‐methyl‐1‐butanol biosynthesis in Escherichia coli. Molecular dynamics‐guided semi‐rational engineering of dihydroxyacid dehydratase uncovered and relieved key catalytic bottlenecks, while adaptive laboratory evolution enhanced strain robustness.

Identification of pesticide-degrading Pseudomonas strains as poly-β-hydroxybutyrate producers [PDF]

, 2016
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is an ecological promising substitute for polypropylene because it is biocompatible, biodegradable and can be produced by renewable sources. This study investigated PHB accumulation on pesticide-degrading Pseudomonas. 14 strains

Spatio‐temporal characterization of polyhydroxybutyrate accumulation in sugarcane [PDF]

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2006
SummaryWe report here the results from a glasshouse trial of several transgenic sugarcane (Saccharumspp. hybrids) lines accumulating the bacterial polyester polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) in plastids. The aims of the trial were to characterize the spatio‐temporal pattern of PHB accumulation at a whole‐plant level, to identify factors limiting PHB production

Stimulus‐Induced Self‐Reinforcement in Supramolecular Bamboo Plastics toward Mechanical Robustness and Programmable Shapeability

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
A self‐reinforcement strategy is reported for the fabrication of bamboo plastics utilizing ethanol to induce the supramolecular network reconstruction of cellulose and polyacrylamide molecules. These bamboo plastics exhibit high mechanical strength, excellent thermal stability, resistance to low temperatures, and controllable shapeability.
