Polyhydroxyalkanoate Granules Are Complex Subcellular Organelles (Carbonosomes)
Year: 2009
Type: review
Abstract: Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) such as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) or poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate), are universal prokaryotic storage compounds of carbon and energy. PHAs are accumulated intracellularly in form of inclusion bodies (PHA granules) during times of oversupply with carbon sources (for
