| Abstract | Using random chemical mutagenesis we obtained the mutant of Cupriavidus necator H16 which was capable of improved (about 35 %) production of poly(3-hydroxybuytrate) (PHB) compared to the wild-type strain. The mutant exhibited significantly enhanced specific activities of enzymes involved in oxidative stress response such as malic enzyme, NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase. Probably, due to the activation of these enzymes, we also observed an increase of NADPH/NADP⺠ratio. It is likely that as a side effect of the increase of NADPH/NADP⺠ratio the activity of PHB biosynthetic pathway was enhanced, which supported the accumulation of PHB. Furthermore, the mutant was also able to incorporate propionate into copolymer poly(3-hydroxybuytyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB-co-3HV)] more efficiently than the wild-type strain (Y3HV/prec = 0.17 and 0.29 for the wild-type strain and the mutant, respectively)). We assume that it may be caused by lower availability of oxaloacetate for the utilization of propionyl-CoA in 2-methylcitrate cycle due to increased action of malic enzyme. Therefore, propionyl-CoA was incorporated into copolymer rather than transformed to pyruvate via 2-methylcitrate cycle. Thus, the mutant was capable of the utilization of waste frying oils and the production of P(3HB-co-3HV) with better yields and improved content of 3HV resulting in better mechanical properties of copolymer than the wild-type strain. The results of this work may be used for the development of innovative fermentation strategies for the production of PHA and also it might help to define novel targets for the genetic manipulations of PHA producing bacteria. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
