PHA co-polymers production in two cyanobacterial strains from Synechocystis family
Original language description
Cyanobacteria are ecologically extremely important phototrophic gram-negative which belong to the prokaryotes, cyanobacteria contains plastids so they capable to do oxygenic photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria synthetize many interesting metabolites such as glycogen, lipids, carotenoids, but the most interesting metabolites are polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). PHA are biodegradable biopolymers with similar properties as petrochemical plastics and they occure in bacteria in granules. Numerous prokaryotes including cyanobacteria use PHA as a storage of carbon and energy in form of intracellular granules. The most common type of PHA is poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB). PHA can be produced by heterotrophic bacteria as well, such as Cupriavidus necator H16 or Methylobacterium rhodesianum. PHB raises fitness of bacteria because it helps the bacteria to survive the stress conditions – osmotic stress, UV radiation, freezing or high temperatures. Both strains are capable of co-polymer synthesis in presence of its structural
