Abstract excerpt
An Escherichia coli strain has been constructed that produces the copolymer poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) P(HB-co-HV). This has been accomplished by placing the PHB biosynthetic genes from Alcaligenes eutrophus into an E. coli fadR atoC(Con) mutant and culturing the strain in M9 m...
