A NOVEL RECOMBINANT PHB PRODUCTION PLATFORM IN FILAMENTOUS CYANOBACTERIA AVOIDING NITROGEN STARVATION WHILE PRESERVING CELL VIABILITY

A novel recombinant PHB production platform in filamentous cyanobacteria avoiding nitrogen starvation while preserving cell viability

Abstract During the past decades, the importance of developing sustainable, carbon dioxide (CO2)-neutral and biodegradable alternatives to conventional plastic has become evident in the context of global pollution issues.Therefore, heterotrophic bacteria such as Cupriavidus sp.have been intensively explored for the synthesis of the biodegradable po

Massive strandings of Velella velella (Hydrozoa: Anthoathecata: Porpitidae) in the Ligurian Sea (North-western Mediterranean Sea)

Velella velella, the so-called by-the-wind sailor, is a common member of the open-ocean pleustonic fauna, worldwide distributed in tropical and temperate regions.Thanks to their sail protruding above the sea surface, floating polymorphic colonies of this hydrozoan are carried by winds, and tend to aggregate in Denim Skirts large swarms, that often
