Abstract excerpt
Bacterial survival in natural environments involves the ability of scavenging nutrients and energy sources. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are intracellular polymers that endow bacteria with enhanced survival capabilities in adverse environmental conditions. In this paper we compared survival of Pseudomonas oleovorans wild type and PHA depolymerase mutant strains in natural river waters by using microcosms....
