Molecular detection and diversity of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates-producing bacteria enriched from activated sludge

摘要

Aims: Knowledge of the species composition of complex bacterial communities is still very limited. The main objectives of this study were to identify medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs)-producing bacteria from activated sludge fed with methanol as well as to characterize their PHA operon.
