RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Kessler, B A1 Palleroni, N JYR 2000 T1 Taxonomic implications of synthesis of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate and other poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates by aerobic pseudomonads. JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 50 IS 2 SP 711 OP 713 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-50-2-711 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Whereas poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) production by Pseudomonas species is rare, synthesis of medium-chain-length poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs) other than PHB, has been observed in fluorescent and non-fluorescent species. Contrary to original reports, Pseudomonas corrugata and Pseudomonas ficuserectae accumulate mcl-PHAs and not PHB. The taxonomic implications of these characteristics are discussed., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-50-2-711
