PHAs accumulation in P. pseudoalcaligenes CECT5344 mutant strains defective in PHA synthesis. a Strategy followed for generation of the Mpha− and Spha− mutants of P. pseudoalcaligenes CECT5344. b Transmission electron microscopy images of Mpha− (left), Spha− (middle) and double Mpha−/Spha− (right) mutant strains of P. pseudoalcaligenes CECT5344. Cells were grown with 12.5 mM sodium octanoate and the cyanide-containing residue from the jewelry industry (2 mM initial concentration). Samples were analyzed at 30 h of cultivation, before cyanide was completely consumed.
