De Novo Assembly of the Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Producer <i>Azohydromonas lata</i> Strain H1 Genome and Genomic Analysis of PHB Production Machinery by Daniele Traversa, Carlo Pazzani, Pietro D’Addabbo, Lucia Trisolini, Matteo Chiara, Marta Oliva, Angelo Marzella, Camilla Mandorino, Carla Calia, Guglielmina Chimienti, Caterina Manzari, Graziano Pesole, Maria Scrascia

“…A comparative genomic analysis of the available genomes of the genus <i>Azohydromonas</i> revealed the presence of <i>phaCAB</i> and auxiliary genes in all <i>Azohydromonas</i> species investigated, suggesting that the PHB production is a common feature of the genus. Based on sequence identity, we also suggest <i>A. australica</i> as the closest species to which the <i>phaCAB</i> operon of the strain H1, reported in 1998, is similar.…”
