Table 3 Kinetic parameters of granule-bound PhaC1 and PhaC2 towards R-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-CoA.

From: Overexpression and characterization of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate granule bound polymerases from Pseudomonas putida GPo1

 

Km (μM)

Vmax (U/mg PhaC)

Granule-bound PhaC1

125 ± 35

40.8 ± 6.2

Granule-bound PhaC2

37 ± 10

2.7 ± 0.7

  1. - Kinetic parameters were determined from initial PHA polymerase activities which were determined spectrophotometrically (A412) by following the release of CoA using DTNB.
  2. - PHA granules were isolated from P. putida GPo1 after 16 hours of growth.
  3. - Values are the average of 4 determinations.
