Abstract excerpt
The polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA) biosynthetic gene locus was cloned and characterized from an Acinetobacter sp. isolated from activated sludge. Nucleotide sequence analysis identified three clustered genes, phaAAc (encoding a beta-ketothiolase), phaBAc (encoding an acetoacetyl coenzyme A reductase), and phaCAc (encoding a PHA synthase). In addition, an open reading frame (ORF1) with potential to encode a 13-kDa...
