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 minimal medium containing glucose and propionate. 3-Hydroxyvalerate incorporation is absolutely dependent on the...
