Background Ralstonia eutropha is bacterium known to naturally produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) as carbon storage during nutrient starvation. Previously studies [1] showed that it is possible through the incorporation of an engineered biosynthetic pathway, to redirect carbon flux from PHB to the production of Isobutanol (IBT), a biofuel largely studied to replace the current fossil fuels in exi...

biodegradation kinetics of 4-nitrophenol (pnp) in aqueous solution by a gram negative soil bacterium, ralstoniaeutropha was firstly studied in a small scale batch reactor. the degradation of pnp was evaluated at initial pnp concentrations ranging from 3 mg/l to 14 mg/l. the rate of pnp consumption by the bacterium culture was modeled using monod and contois kinetics in batch condition. pnp degr...
