TABLE 2.
Alginate and PHB production in A. vinelandii strainsa
| Strain | Alginate concn (mg/mg of protein) | PHB concn (μg/mg of protein) |
|---|---|---|
| ATCC 9046 | 1.93 ± 0.3 | 460 ± 24 |
| JM3 | <1.0 | <10.0 |
| JM3/pSAFA3 | 1.96 ± 0.3 | 455 ± 21 |
| CNS59 | 1.70 ± 0.3 | NDb |
Alginate and PHB concentrations were determined in cells grown for 48 h in Burk's liquid medium supplemented with 2% sucrose. Values are means ± standard errors of the means.
ND, not determined.
