Effect of nitrogen limitation on long-side-chain poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoate synthesis by Pseudomonas resinovorans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pseudomonas resinovorans produced poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) when grown on hydrocarbons but not on glucose. In a chemostat culture, the PHA composition was beta-hydroxybutyrate (C4)-beta-hydroxyhexanoate (C6)-beta-hydroxyoctanoate (C8)-beta-hydroxydecanoate (C10) (1:15:75:9) on octanoate and C4-C6-C8-C10 (8:62:23:7) on hexanoic acid. Contrary to the reported behavior of Pseudomonas oleovorans, the PHA accumulation rate increased under ammonium limitation on octanoate.

Continuous Production of Long-Side-Chain Poly-beta-Hydroxyalkanoates by Pseudomonas oleovorans.
Shake flask experiments showed that Pseudomonas oleovorans began to be growth inhibited at 4.65 g of sodium octanoate liter, with total inhibition at 6 g liter. In chemostat studies with 2 g of ammonium sulfate and 8 g of octanoate liter in the feed, the maximum specific growth rate was 0.51 h, and the maximum specific rate of poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production was 0.074 g of PHA g of ...
متن کاملFabG, an NADPH-dependent 3-ketoacyl reductase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, provides precursors for medium-chain-length poly-3-hydroxyalkanoate biosynthesis in Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli hosts expressing fabG of Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed 3-ketoacyl coenzyme A (CoA) reductase activity toward R-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-CoA. Furthermore, E. coli recombinants carrying the poly-3-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) polymerase-encoding gene phaC in addition to fabG accumulated medium-chain-length PHAs (mcl-PHAs) from alkanoates. When E. coli fadB or fadA mutants, which are deficient...
متن کاملProduction of Poly-beta-Hydroxyalkanoic Acid by Pseudomonas cepacia.
The possibility of using the nutritionally versatile bacterium Pseudomonas cepacia to produce poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoic acid was evaluated. Chemostat culture showed that growth of P. cepacia became nitrogen limited when the molar carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of the medium fed into the fermentor was above 15. When grown under nitrogen limitation in batch culture with fructose as the sole source of c...
متن کاملCloning and molecular analysis of the Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyalkanoate) biosynthesis genes in Pseudomonas sp. strain 61-3.
Two types of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis gene loci (phb and pha) of Pseudomonas sp. strain 61-3, which produces a blend of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] homopolymer and a random copolymer (poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyalkanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HA]) consisting of 3HA units of 4 to 12 carbon atoms, were cloned and analyzed at the molecular level. In the phb locus, three open read...
متن کاملCyclic nature of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) metabolism in Alcaligenes eutrophus.
The cyclic process of biosynthesis and degradation of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) was studied in Alcaligenes eutrophus under conditions of nitrogen-limitation of growth. A. eutrophus cells, which had accumulated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) of 55 wt% content within cells from butyric acid, were transferred into a nitrogen-free medium containing pentanoic acid as the sole carbon source and c...
