Abstract excerpt
Azotobacter vinelandii is proposed to contain a single beta-ketothiolase activity participating in the formation of acetoacetyl-CoA, a precursor for poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis, and in beta-oxidation (Manchak, J., Page, W.J., 1994. Control of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthesis in Azotobacter vinelandii strain UWD. Microbiology 140, 953-963). We designed a degenerate oligonucleotide from a highly...
