Polyhydroxybutyrate biosynthesis in Caulobacter crescentus: molecular characterization of the polyhydroxybutyrate synthase.
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 was solely composed of 3-hydroxybutyrate and ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Caulobacter crescentus Holdfast Polysaccharide 1 Biosynthesis Pathway
24 Caulobacter crescentus cells adhere to surfaces using an extremely strong polar 25 adhesin called the holdfast. The polysaccharide component of the holdfast is 26 comprised in part of oligomers of N-acetylglucosamine. The genes involved in the 27 export of the holdfast polysaccharide and anchoring of the holdfast to the cell were 28 previously discovered. In this study, we identify a cluster...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Bacterial Polyhydroxybutyrate Inclusions
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a carbon reserve found in some bacteria, and under nutrient limiting conditions accumulates intracellularly in the form of inclusion bodies. These inclusions contain proteins, and the PHI3 within the inclusions exists in an amorphous state. In this study a procedure to recover native PHB inclusions was developed, and the isolated inclusions were characterized using ...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Polyhydroxybutyrate/Polycaprolactone Nanocomposites
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)/polycaprolactone (PCL)/stearate Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposites were prepared via solution casting intercalation method. Coprecipitation method was used to prepare the anionic clay Mg-Al LDH from nitrate salt solution. Modification of nitrate anions by stearate anions between the LDH layers via ion exchange reaction. FTIR spectra showed the presence...
متن کاملCyanobacterial Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB): Screening, Optimization and Characterization
In modern life petroleum-based plastic has become indispensable due to its frequent use as an easily available and a low cost packaging and moulding material. However, its rapidly growing use is causing aquatic and terrestrial pollution. Under these circumstances, research and development for biodegradable plastic (bioplastics) is inevitable. Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a type of microbial polye...
