Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas sp. 14-3, a strain that accumulates large quantities of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) when grown on octanoate, was isolated from Antarctic environments. This isolate was characterized on the basis of phenotypic features and partial sequencing of its 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Pseudomonas sp. 14-3 showed increased tolerance to both thermal and oxidative stress compared with three other Pseudomonas species....
