Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate Metabolism Is Unrelated to the Sporulation and Parasporal Crystal Protein Formation in Bacillus thuringiensis
Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural polymer synthesized by many bacteria as a carbon-energy storage material. It was accumulated maximally prior to the spore formation but was degraded during the process of sporulation in Bacillus thuringiensis. Intriguingly, B. thuringiensis also accumulates large amounts of insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) during sporulation, which requires consider...
متن کاملCharacterization of the parasporal inclusion of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kyushuensis.
Electron microscopy of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kyushuensis revealed that the parasporal inclusions are composed of a homogeneous center surrounded by a thick, electron-dense coating. Antibodies directed against the 135- and 65-kilodalton B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis peptides cross-reacted with the 70- and 26-kilodalton peptides, respectively, of B. thuringiensis subsp. kyushuensis.
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate from Bacillus thuringiensis R1
A poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulating, Gram positive Bacillus thuringiensis R1 was isolated from the soil samples. The growth of the organism and PHB accumulation in the presence of different carbon sources was studied. While maximum dry cell mass accumulation (3.90 to 4.11g/L) resulted in the presence of glycerol (1% v/v), least biomass formation (1.28g/L) was in the presence of 1%(v/v) ...
متن کاملHydrogen Oxidizing Bacteria as Poly(hydroxybutyrate) Producers
Batch culture of Ralstonia eutropha using the recycled gas closed circuit culture system was conducted in order to develop a practical fermentation system for industrial autotrophic culture for poly (hydroxybutrate) production. The gas phase of the culture system consisted of substrate gas so that gases in this culture could be recycled as long as the amount of the gas consumed would be repleni...
متن کاملMicrobial degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) in soils.
The microbial degradation of tensile test pieces made of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] or a copolymer of 90% 3-hydroxybutyric acid and 10% 3-hydroxyvaleric acid was studied in soils incubated at a constant temperature of 15, 28, or 40 degrees C for up to 200 days. In addition, hydrolytic degradation in sterile buffer at temperatures ranging from 4 to 55 degrees C was monitored for 98 days. D...
