Medium chain length polyhyoxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) model compounds for the discovery of novel PHA depolymerases
(10th Conference of Mikrobiokosmos, 2023)
PHAs are naturally made microbial polyesters that
have been commercialized as biodegradable
plastics. However, it has been shown that these
materials are not so easily biodegraded in natural
environments [1]. PHA ...
Waste to value: From bugs to drugs
(10th Conference of Mikrobiokosmos, 2023)
Our food, cosmetics, clothes, and other products and
consumables across our lives need to get leaner and
greener and biotechnology solutions can contribute
towards responding to this need. Microorganisms are
the most ...
Biotechnological production of bacterial pigment prodigiosin and bioactive properties of its metal complexes with Cu(II) and Zn(II)
(10th Conference of Mikrobiokosmos, 2023)
Prodigiosin (PG, Fig. 1a) is a biologically active
pyrrolylpyrromethene alkaloid whose structure was
first confirmed in 1962 [1]. PG is commonly
produced by Gram-negative bacteria, such as
Serratia spp. and has an ...
Conversion of mixed plastic waste containing PET into biopolymer bacterial nanocellulose
(10th Conference of Mikrobiokosmos, 2023)
The rapid increase in global plastics production is
also causing an accelerated environmental
pollution. Recently, biotechnological solutions and
enzymatic recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate)
(PET) waste stream ...
