Abstract excerpt
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production has been enhanced with engineered 3-ketoacyl-ACP synthase III (FabH) enzymes that accept diverse fatty acyl-ACP substrates and convert them to fatty acyl-CoA substrates for polymerization by PHA synthase enzymes resulting in the production of diverse polymers. Two mutations in the monomer supplying enzyme FabH, His244Ala and the Asn274Ala, were investigated to assess the...
