Microcompartments are proteinaceous capsules that have only recently been discovered to exist in a wide range of bacteria. They contain enzymes required for a particular metabolic process. The carboxysome is a particularly well-studied example of a specialised microcompartment, and is shown here as a schematic diagram (S. Frank et al, 2013). | Microcompartments are proteinaceous capsules that have only recently been discovered to exist in a wide range of bacteria.

Additionally, we are expressing pduABUTNJK in P. putida, which to our knowledge has not been done before. For this purpose, we transferred the ABTUNJK sequence into the pBBR1MCS vector, shown below: | Additionally, we are expressing pduABUTNJK in P. putida, which to our knowledge has not been done before.
