Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Production in sp. phDV1 Strain Grown on Phenol as Carbon Sources.

strains have a variety of potential uses in bioremediation and biosynthesis of biodegradable plastics. sp. strain phDV1, a Gram-negative phenol degrading bacterium, has been found to utilize monocyclic aromatic compounds as sole carbon source via the -cleavage pathway.

Proteomic Characterization of the Pseudomonas sp. Strain phDV1 Response to Monocyclic Aromatic Compounds.

The degradation of aromatic compounds comprises an important step in the removal of pollutants and re-utilization of plastics and other non-biological polymers. Here, Pseudomonas sp. strain phDV1, a gram-negative bacterium that is selected for its ability to degrade aromatic compounds is studied.
