제목 Biosynthesis of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) from butyrate using engineered Ralstonia eutropha
초록 Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), a promising family of bio-based polymers, are considered to be alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics. Copolymers like poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (P(HB-co-HHx)) have been shown to exhibit favorable physical and mechanical properties, due to decreased crystallinity resulting from the presence of medium chain length 3-hydroxy hexanoate (3HHx) monomers. In this study, we produced P(HB-co-HHx) using engineered Ralstoniaeutrophastrains using butyrate, a short-chain organic acid, as the carbon source. Although the wild type R. eutropha did not produce P(HB-co-HHx) when grown on mixed acids or on butyrate as the sole carbon source,we are able to produce up to 40 wt% 3HHx monomer using various concentrations of just butyrate as the sole carbon source.
