Azotobacter vinelandii mutants that overproduce poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate or alginate.

Applied microbiology and biotechnology - 1 Dec 2003

Segura D, Guzmán J, Espín G

Abstract excerpt

Azotobacter vinelandii produces two polymers of industrial importance, i.e. alginate and poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB). Alginate synthesis constitutes a waste of substrate when seeking to optimize PHB production and, conversely, synthesis of PHB is undesirable when optimizing alginate production. In this study we evaluated the effect of a mutation in algA, the gene encoding the enzyme that catalyzes the first...
