Heterologous polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase expression enables poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) production from fatty acids in Rhodobacter capsulatus
{{output}}
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) is a biodegradable copolymer whose mechanical properties can be tuned by the 3-hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) fraction. However, current industrial production largely relies on established hosts and plant oil-based... ...
