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

Extremophiles are suitable chassis for developing the next generation industrial
biotechnology (NGIB) due to their resistance to microbial contamination. However …

In recent years, several studies have been developed in Brazil to produce biodegradable
materials. A particular family of bacterial polymers, the polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), has …

Genetic engineering of Halomonas spp. was seldom reported due to the difficulty of genetic
manipulation and lack of molecular biology tools. Halomonas TD01 can grow in a …

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 …

Background Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats interference
(CRISPRi) has provided an efficient approach for targeted gene inhibition. A non-model …

Glycerol is a by-product of many industrial processes and huge amounts of it are generated
in the form of waste, thereby necessitating a search for the method of its disposal. An …

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 …

Strain IPT101T, isolated from the soil of a sugar-cane plantation in Brazil, was analysed in a
polyphasic taxonomic study. The strain produces polyhydroxyalkanoates from sucrose and …
