Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli carrying the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) biosynthesis pathway on a plasmid (pha+), the function of the ackA (acetate kinase) and pta (phosphotransacetylase) genes is necessary for efficient incorporation of 3-hydroxyvalerate (3-HV) into the copolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (P(3HB-co-3HV)). Recombinant pha+ E. coli fadR atoC(Con) strains possessing mutations in ackA,...
