Azotobacter vinelandii is a soil bacterium that is able to synthesize poly-β-hydroxybutyrate
(PHB), a polymer used to produce biodegradable plastic. PHB is stored in the cytoplasm as …

Abstract Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) granule formation in Azotobacter vinelandii was
investigated by laser scanning fluorescence microscopy after staining the cells with Nilered …

Azotobacter vinelandii ArrF is an iron-responsive small RNA that is under negative control of
Ferric uptake regulator protein. A. vinelandii∆ arrF mutant that had a deletion of the entire …

A novel poly-3-hydroxybutyrate depolymerase was identified in Azotobacter vinelandii. This
enzyme, now designated PhbZ1, is associated to the poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) granules …

Azotobacter vinelandii produces two polymers of industrial importance, ie alginate and poly-
β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB). Alginate synthesis constitutes a waste of substrate when seeking …

The aim of this study was to characterize the influence of the aeration conditions on the
production of PHB and its molecular mass in a mutant strain of Azotobacter vinelandii (OPN) …

Food industry wastewater served as a carbon source for the synthesis of poly-β-
hydroxybutyrate (PHB) by Azotobacter chroococcum. The content of polymer in bacterial …

The production of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)[P (3HB)] from untreated raw palm oil mill effluent
(urPOME), the first wastewater discharge from crude palm oil extraction, is discussed. The …

Abstract Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) is a biopolymer produced by Azotobacter vinelandii.
The physicochemical properties and applications of P3HB are strongly influenced by its …

Gram-negative Azospirillum brasilense accumulates approximately 80% of
polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) as dry cell weight. For this reason, this bacterium has been …
