LITERATURE
biotechnology
-
optimization for biotechnological production of polyhydroxyalkanoic acids and polythioethers
industry
nutrition
-
Enterococcus durans can be developed into a useful probiotic aimed at the treatment of patients suffering from ulcerative colitis
synthesis
-
butanoate kinase and phosphotransbutyrylase are successfully exploited for in vitro synthesis of 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, 4-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA and poly(hydroxyalkanoic acid). Combination of butanoate kinase, phosphotransbutyrylase and poly(hydroxyalkanoic acid) synthase of Chromatium vinosum establishes a new system for in vitro synthesis of poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid)
additional information
-
coexpression of PhaP1 alongside the BPEC pathway is important for optimizing strains towards enhanced polyhydroxyalkanoic acid or polythioester production
