Influence of growth stage on activities of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) polymerase and PHA depolymerase in <it>Pseudomonas putida </it>U
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Medium chain length (mcl-) polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are synthesized by many bacteria in the cytoplasm as storage compounds for energy and carbon. The key enzymes for PHA metabolism are PHA polymerase (PhaC) and depolymerase (PhaZ)...
