Polyhydroxyalkanoates – microbial polyesters with multiple protective functions for bacterial cells

Original language description

In this work, we investigated whether and how polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) protect bacterial cells against harmful effects of various environmental stress factors such as pH, temperature, UV exposure, osmotic pressure etc. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHA) are polyesters produced in form intracellular granules by numerous bacteria, the polymer content of bacteria can reach up to 90% wt of cellular dry matter. We proved that PHA granules are not used only as carbon and energy storage but granules can serve also as protectant
