TL;DR: The genome sequence provides the basis for the future design of strategies to mitigate the ecological damage caused by oil spills and provides A. borkumensis SK2 with a competitive edge in oil-polluted environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Storage Lipid Accumulation in Alcanivorax borkumensis: Evidence for Alternative Triacylglycerol Biosynthesis Routes in Bacteria
Rainer Kalscheuer,Tim Stöveken,Ursula Malkus,Rudolf Reichelt,Peter N. Golyshin,Julia S. Sabirova,Manuel Ferrer,Kenneth N. Timmis,Alexander Steinbüchel +8 more
TL;DR: Analysis of storage lipid biosynthesis in A. borkumensis strain SK2 shows that storage lipid accumulation provided only a slight growth advantage during short-term starvation periods but was not required for maintaining viability and long-term persistence during extended starvation phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteomic Insights into Metabolic Adaptations in Alcanivorax borkumensis Induced by Alkane Utilization
TL;DR: The existence of three different alkane-oxidizing systems is consistent with the broad range of oil hydrocarbons degraded by A. borkumensis and its ecological success in oil-contaminated marine habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyhydroxyalkanoates Production From Low-cost Sustainable Raw Materials
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates using low-cost sustainable raw materials such as molasses, whey, lignocelluloses, fats and oils, glycerol and wastewater are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutation in a “tesB-Like” Hydroxyacyl-Coenzyme A-Specific Thioesterase Gene Causes Hyperproduction of Extracellular Polyhydroxyalkanoates by Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2
Julia S. Sabirova,Manuel Ferrer,Heinrich Lünsdorf,Victor Wray,Rainer Kalscheuer,Alexander Steinbüchel,Kenneth N. Timmis,Peter N. Golyshin +7 more
TL;DR: A novel mutant of the marine oil-degrading bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2, containing a mini-Tn5 transposon disrupting a "tesB-like" acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) thioesterase gene, was found to hyperproduce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), resulting in the extracellular deposition of this biotechnologically important polymer when grown on alkanes.
