Abstract in Portuguese
Ramnolipídeos (RLs) e polihidroxialcanoatos (PHAs) produzidos por Pseudomonas aeruginosa são compostos biodegradáveis e que podem ser obtidos a partir de matérias-primas renováveis. Com o objetivo de elucidar aspectos metabólicos e regulatórios da produção de RLs e PHAs, mutantes de P. aeruginosa LFM634 afetados na síntese desses compostos foram obtidos utilizando um transposon (ISlacZ/hah). Dentre 61 mutantes caracterizados, foram detectados vários super-produtores de RLs e/ou PHAs, bem como alguns nos quais nenhum RL foi detectado. Dois mutantes (p09-13 e p12-39) apresentaram capacidade reduzida de inserir ramnose em RLs e de direcionar intermediários da biossíntese de ácidos graxos para a síntese de RLs ou PHAs. O mutante p09-13 está afetado no gene crc, sugerindo um importante papel deste regulador global no processo de síntese de RLs e PHAs.

Abstract in English
Rhamnolipids (RLs) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are biodegradable compounds and can be obtained from renewable raw materials. Aiming to elucidate metabolic and regulatory issues involved in the RLs and PHAs production, P. aeruginosa LFM634 mutants affected in their biosynthesis were obtained using a transposon (ISlacZ/hah). Out of 61mutants characterized, it was detected several overproducing RLs and/or PHA, as well as some in which no RLs was detected. Two mutants (p09-13 and p12-39) presented reduced capability of inserting rhamnose in RLs and of channeling intermediates from fatty acid biosynthesis to the synthesis of RLs and PHAs. The mutant p09-13 is affected on crc gene, suggesting an important role of this global regulator on the process of RLs and PHA synthesis.
