Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Faculty Publications

Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009 is a metabolically robust microbe that can utilize lignin breakdown products to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), biopolymers with the potential to replace conventional plastics. Our recent efforts suggest PHA granule formation is a limiting factor for maximum production of the bioplastic poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) by R. palustris. The Phap1 phasin (phaP1) from the PHBproducing model bacterium Cupriavidus necator H16 was expressed in R. palustris with the aim of overproducing PHBV from the lignin breakdown product p-coumarate by fostering smaller and more abundant granules. Expression of phaP1 yielded PHBV production from R. palustris aerobically (0.7 g/L), which does …
