Degradation and conversion of toxic compounds into useful bioplastics by Cupriavidus sp. CY-1: relative expression of the PhaC gene under phenol and nitrogen stress

Abstract

In this study different types of toxic compounds,<italic>i.e.</italic>, alkylphenols, mono and poly-aromatic hydrocarbons were converted into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) using the isolated bacteria<italic>Cupriavidus</italic>sp. CY-1.
