Original Abstract

The abstract Thermophilic PHA Producer sui generis - Caldimonas thermodepolymerans was presented as a lecture at 11th European Symposium on Biopolymers. The topic was focused on a thermophilic bacterium Caldimonas thermodepolymerans that si capable of producing polyhydroxyalkanoates - biodegradable and biocompatible polymers. This bacterium has a very interesting carbohydrate utilization metabolism. It prefers xylose over other substrates including glucose. The use of xylose as a carbon source offers a wide range of possibilities, as it is the second most abundant carbohydrate on earth. It is also contained in lignocellulosic materials, which produce a large amount of waste.
