Many microorganisms harbor genes necessary to synthesize biodegradable plastics known as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). We surveyed a genomic database and discovered a new cluster of class IV PHA synthase genes (phaRC). These genes are different in sequence and operon structure from any previously reported PHA synthase…

Aluminum is often added to electrical steels since this element causes improvement of the magnetic properties. However the addition of aluminum is usually limited to 0.30 wt%1. Therefore, this work aimed at evaluating the influence of higher levels of aluminum in the magnetic properties of semi-processed steels. To ac…
