dc.description.abstract | Pseudomonads represent a versatile group of Gram-negative bacteria capable of
synthesizing a variety of secondary metabolites and biopolymers that are of biotechnological
relevance (Figure 14.1). In addition to their enormous biosynthesis
capacity, pseudomonads are able to degrade various recalcitrant compounds such
as chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons that can be found as pollutants in the
environment. Thus, pseudomonads and their degradation pathways in engineered
microorganisms have been conceived for the clean-up of polluted sites. The ability
to metabolize a variety of diverse nutrients combined with the ability to form
biofilms enables these bacteria to survive in a variety of habitats. Pseudomonads
have been considered for the following biotechnological applications: bioremediation,
production of polymers, biotransformation, low-molecular-weight compound
production, recombinant protein production and biocontrol agents. The relevance
of pseudomonads in the particular biotechnological field will be compiled and
discussed below | |
