Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

Researchers at the National University of Ireland, investigated the molecular characteristics of the metabolic pathways the organism uses in this process. Mini-Tn5 random mutagenesis was used to identify acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) as the end product of styrene metabolism in Pseudomonas putida CA-3. Looking into the link between de novo fatty acid synthesis and PHA monomer accumulation, a functionally expressed 3-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein-CoA transacylase (phaG) gene in organism was identified. Furthermore, the group found that nitrogen limitation is necessary for maximal expression of the phaG in P. putida CA-3.
