Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Bacteria are able to synthesize a wide variety of different thermoplastic polyhydroxyalkanoic acids (PHA). The physiology of PHA metabolism has been studied in most detail in the aerobic hydrogen bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus. Strains of this bacterium are already used for the production of biodegradable polyesters on a technological scale. The current knowledge on the pathways for PHA synthesis, on the genes essential for PHA biosynthesis and on genes affecting the accumulation of PHA in this bacterium will be reviewed.
