Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Knowledge of the species composition of complex bacterial communities is still very limited. The main objectives of this study were to identify medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs)-producing bacteria from activated sludge fed with methanol as well as to characterize their PHA operon. METHODS AND RESULTS: The identification was based on PCR amplification of mcl-PHA synthase gene fragments. In...
