Article Synopsis
- The study examines how glucose and sulfur affect the growth and PHB (polyhydroxybutyrate) production in the bacterium Acidiphilium cryptum DX1-1.
- The researchers found that this strain can utilize sulfur for energy and CO2 from the atmosphere as a carbon source to accumulate PHB.
- The presence of glucose enhances growth and increases the expression of genes related to PHB synthesis, indicating its potential for efficient PHB production without the need for light.
A novel green unicellular microalgal isolate from the freshwater of the Inner Mongolia Province of China and named as CCTCC M209220, grows between pH 6 and 11 and temperatures of 20-35°C with optimal conditions at pH 9 and 30°C. Morphological features and the phylogenetic analysis for the 18S rRNA gene reveal that the isolate is a Chlorella sorokiniana strain. A nitrogen source test reveals that this strain can grow well with nitrate and urea, but not ammonium.

In addition to physicochemical analyses, the diversity and community structures of the archaeal communities in these samples were described at the genetic level by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA). Nine different ARDRA patterns were obtained from 146 clones and were studied as operational taxonomic units (OTUs), which were re-amplified and sequenced.
