Survival of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-producing bacteria in soil microcosms

Bacillus megaterium is a potential bioremediation and biocontrol agent. The accumulation of reserve polymers, such as poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), increases survival of B. megaterium in water. We used wild-type strains of this species and mutant strains deficient in PHB synthesis in soil microcosms...
