Journal ArticleDOI

The turnover of medium‐chain‐length polyhydroxyalkanoates in Pseudomonas putida KT2442 and the fundamental role of PhaZ depolymerase for the metabolic balance

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PHAs play a fundamental role in balancing the stored carbon/biomass/number of cells as function of carbon availability, suggesting that PHA metabolism allows P. putida to adapt the carbon flux of hydroxyacyl-CoAs to cellular demand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical Evidence That phaZ Gene Encodes a Specific Intracellular Medium Chain Length Polyhydroxyalkanoate Depolymerase in Pseudomonas putida KT2442 CHARACTERIZATION OF A PARADIGMATIC ENZYME

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PhaZ is an intracellular depolymerase that is located in PHA granules and that hydrolyzes specifically mcl-PHAs containing aliphatic and aromatic monomers, and this enzyme is proposed as the paradigmatic representative of intrACEllular endo/exo-mcl-PHAdepolymerases.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Phosphotransferase System Formed by PtsP, PtsO, and PtsN Proteins Controls Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates in Pseudomonas putida

TL;DR: The genome of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 encodes five proteins of the phosphoenolpyruvate-carbohydrate phosphotransferase system, which act in concert to control the intracellular accumulation of polyhydroxyalkanoates, a typical product of carbon overflow.
Book ChapterDOI

Synthesis and Degradation of Polyhydroxyalkanoates

TL;DR: Abbreviations: PHA: Polyhydroxyalkanoate, GAPs: Granule associated proteins, scl-PHAs: Short-chain-length PHAs, mcl- PHAs: Medium-chainlengthPHAs, PHB: PolyHydroxybutyrate, CoA: Coenzyme A, ACP: Acyl carrier protein, GFP: Green fluorescent protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prebiotic effect of xylooligosaccharides produced from birchwood xylan by a novel fungal GH11 xylanase

TL;DR: The strong production of acetic and lactic acid, the decrease of potentially pathogenic bacteria and the increase of bifidobacteria, and possible beneficial commensals, confirmed the prebiotic value of these xylooligosaccharides.
