We analyzed the influence of the redox global regulator Anr on the accumulation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) in Pseudomonas extremaustralis. Anr regulates a set of genes in the aerobic-anaerobic transition including genes involved in nitrate reduction and arginine fermentation. An anr mutant was constructed using PCR-based strategies. The wild-type strain was able to grow in both microaerobic and anaerobic conditions using nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor while the mutant strain was unable to grow under anaerobic conditions. In bioreactor cultures, PHB content in the wildtype strain was higher in microaerobic and anaerobic cultures compared with highly aerated cultures. The mutant strain showed decreased PHB levels in both aerobic and microaerobic conditions compared with the wild-type strain. Inactivation of anr led to decreased expression of phaC and phaR genes as demonstrated in real-time RT-PCR experiments. Associated with the PHB gene region, two putative binding sites for Anr were found that, in line with the phenotype observed in bioreactor cultures, suggest a role of this regulator in PHB biosynthesis.
