In Azotobacter vinelandii the rhdA gene codes for a protein (RhdA) of the rhodanese-homology superfamily. By combining proteomics, enzymic profiles and ultrastructural observations, the phenotype of an A. vinelandii rhdA mutant was analyzed. We found that the A. vinelandii rhdA mutant, and not the wild-type strain, accumulated polyhydroxybutyrate. RhdA deficiency enhanced the expression of enzymes of the...
