Effect of dietary components on the gut microbiota of aquatic animals. A never‐ending story? (2016, background): “PHB is a compound that is synthesized by a variety of micro-organisms mainly under conditions of nutrient limitation and carbon excess (Jendrossek & Handrick 2002).”
The basics of bio-flocs technology: The added value for aquaculture (2008, background): “Upon release from the bacterial cell, e.g. in the case of cell death and lyses, degradation of PHB is performed by the activity of extracellular PHB depolymerase enzymes which are widely distributed among bacteria and fungi (Jendrossek and Handrick, 2002).”
Biodegradation of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in tropical coastal waters and identification of PHA-degrading bacteria (2010, methodology): “However, while polymer chains were depolymerised and Mw decreased, crystallinity of both PHAs remained unchanged, suggesting a conclusion that in the studied marine environment, the amorphous phase of the PHA and the crystalline one were equally disintegrated, which is in disagreement with the curre”
Bacterial synthesis of biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (2007, background): “Micro-organisms in nature are able to degrade PHAs by using PHA hydrolases and PHA depolymerases (Jendrossek and Handrick 2002; Choi et al. 2004).”
