The proposal aims to evaluate the technical and scientific feasibility of the production of polyhydroxyalkanoate monomers from two microbial strains (Halomonas sp. and Pseudomonas sp.) that naturally accumulate the polymer with different monomeric compositions. Polyhydroxyalkanoates monomers presents different applications, as in the synthesis of value-added compounds in the medical/pharm…
Metabolic flux analysis and other tools of metabolic and biochemical engineering will be utilized for the improvement of the poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyalkanoate of medium-chain-Iength [P(3HB-co-HAmcl)] production. Flux analysis will be performed using a free access software and experimental data generated in bioreactor. The study of essential nutrients limitation to microbial gro…
This plan proposes to develop a framework of metabolic modeling and, with it, build and validate a predictive metabolic model of Pseudomonas sp. for the production of polihydroxyalkanoates (PHA), considering the control of their monomeric composition. The choice of this case study is due to: the existence of an extensive knowledge base already available, including more than 40 chemostats;…

An essential part of the assessment and development of a bioprocess powered by a living organism is an accurate mathematical model of its metabolism. Building such model is to conciliate the enzyme activities inferred from the known gene sequences with the actual observed phenotypes. Currently, this is a complex non-automated task. Pseudomonas sp. LFM046 is an efficient wild-type producer…
