Members of the genus Burkholderia are versatile organisms that occupy a surprisingly wide
range of ecological niches. These bacteria are exploited for biocontrol, bioremediation and …

Prokaryotes synthesize a wide range of different polyhydroxyalkanoic acids (PHA) and
accumulate these polyesters as insoluble inclusions in the cytoplasm for storage of carbon …

Growth of bacteria and fungi on fatty acid substrates requires the catabolic β‐oxidation cycle
and the anaplerotic glyoxylate cycle. Propionyl‐CoA generated by β‐oxidation of odd‐chain …

This article describes a new process for the production of biopolymers (
polyhydroxyalkanoates, PHAs) based on the aerobic enrichment of activated sludge to …

Fifty-five bacterial strains isolated from soil were screened for efficient poly-3-
hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) biosynthesis from xylose. Three strains were also evaluated for the …

The role of isocitrate lyase (ICL) in the glyoxylate cycle and its necessity for persistence and
virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been well described. Recent reports have …

Catabolism of odd-chain-length fatty acids yields acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA. A common
pathway of propionyl-CoA metabolism in micro-organisms is the methylcitrate cycle, which …

This is the first review presenting and discussing Burkholderia sacchari as a bacterial
chassis. B. sacchari is a distinguished polyhydroxyalkanoates producer strain, with low …

The industrial production of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV) has been
hindered by high cost and a complex control strategy caused by the addition of propionate …

Genome sequencing revealed that the Corynebacterium glutamicum genome contained,
besides gltA, two additional citrate synthase homologous genes (prpC) located in two …
