Decomposition of Poly-β-Hydroxybutyrate by Pseudomonads
Open accessAbstract
Delafield , F. P. (University of California, Berkeley), M. Doudoroff, N. J. Palleroni, C. J. Lusty, and R. Contopoulos . Decomposition of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate by pseudomonads. J. Bacteriol. 90: 1455–1466. 1965.—A number of aerobic pseudomonads capable of using poly-β-hydroxybutyrate as sole source of carbon have been partially characterized. One was selected for special study and described as a new species, Pseudomonas lemoignei Delafield. This bacterium constitutively produces extracellular digestive enzymes that hydrolyze the polymer to a mixture of d -β-hydroxybutyrate and the dimeric ester of this acid, as well as an intracellular “dimer hydrolase” which hydrolyzes the dimeric ester. The exoenzymes are excreted during growth, but mainly at its cessation. Metabolism of β-hydroxybutyrate largely suppresses enzyme excretion and causes a disappearance of excreted enzyme.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
