Abstract excerpt
The regulation of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) metabolism in Pseudomonas putida GPo1 was studied by analysis of enzymes bound to PHA granules and enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation. N-terminal sequencing of granule-bound enzymes revealed the presence of PHA polymerase (PhaC) and PHA depolymerase (PhaZ) and an acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS1), which recently was found to be associated with...
