Abstract excerpt
Several DNA regions containing genes involved in poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthesis and degradation and also in fatty acid degradation were identified from genomic sequence data and have been characterized in the serine cycle facultative methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. Genes involved in PHB biosynthesis include those encoding beta-ketothiolase (phaA), NADPH-linked acetoacetyl coenzyme A...
