Not exact matches
A team from Brookhaven Academy in Mississippi will determine whether the bacteria Ralstonia
eutropha maintains its ability to

With random mutagenesis and relatively simple engineering, PHB and related polyhydroxyalkanoate polymers have been
produced in R.
eutropha on industrial scales [3].
Grown in contact with these catalysts, the bacterium Ralstonia
eutropha then consumes the
produced H2 to synthesize... Read more →
