Abstract excerpt
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are highly reduced bacterial storage compounds that increase fitness in changing environments. It has previously shown that polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulation is essential during the growth under cold conditions. In this work, the relationship between PHB accumulation and biofilm development at low temperature was investigated. P. extremaustralis, an Antarctic strain able to...
