Medium chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mPHAs) are flexible elastomeric biopolymers with valuable properties for biomedical applications like artificial arteries and other medical implants. However, an environmentally friendly high productivity process together the tuning of mechanical biological mPHAs mandatory this purpose. Here, first time, a melt processing technique was applied preparation bionanocomposites starting from poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate) (PHO) bacterial cellulose nanofibers...
Biotechnology, molecular biology and genetic engineering, bioprospecting play a crucial role in our common future, enabling industrially important microorganisms to ensure sustainable products (fuels, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, drug delivery systems, medical devices etc.) new bioeconomic opportunities. Biotechnological applications are able provide cost-effective green alternatives conventional industrial processes, which currently affecting the nature biodiversity. Klebsiella species...
Abstract Polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHAs) are specifically produced by a wide variety of bacteria, as an intracellular energy reserve in the form homo- and copolymers [R]-β-hydroxyalkanoic acids, depending on C source used for microorganism growth, when cells grown under stressing conditions. In this paper we present microbiological accumulation poly-3-hydroxyoctanoate (PHO) using consortium bacterial strains, Pseudomonas putida Bacillus subtilis, rate 3:1, fermentation medium based sodium...
Abstract The aim of this work is to provide a comprehensive and complex analysis molecular descriptors properties two similar amino acids, L-Aspartic acid L-Glutamic acid, using software tool for calculations predictions. As acids are model compounds predicting the physical-chemical behavior biological, larger molecules as peptides or proteins, researches were focused on providing accurate mechanical using: molecular/mechanical methods. Our study aims initiate linear scaling approach, by...
Medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs) are naturally produced by bacteria and accumulates in cytoplasm the form of granules, particular culture broth conditions.PHAs biodegradable, biocompatible have useful mechanical properties that recommend them for divers applications various fields.In order to obtain mcl-PHAs microbial origin we used two Pseudomonas spp.strains, namely putida ICCF 391 fluorescens 392.Researches focused ability these strains use structurally related or not...
We studied the preparation of polymeric membranes formed solutions poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and chitosan. PHB-chitosan biomaterials from these may form various structural types, which determine biodegradation time, adsorption capacity, kinetics release medicinal compounds matrices. Serine protease inhibitors, SERPINs, continue to catch attention researchers because their increasing use in medicine biotechnology. prepared properties biodegradable materials containing serine soybean...
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are bacteria-synthesized biopolymers under imbalanced growth conditions. These acknowledged as potential biomaterials for future applications because of their characteristics biocompatibility and biodegradability, ability to be produced rapidly, strong functionality mechanical resistance. This article aims perform microbial fermentation using the Pseudomonas putida strain identify quantity biopolymers, particularly medium-chain-length (mcl-PHA)...
