Biosynthesis of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) by metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strains

The recombinant Escherichia coli strain, equipped with the newly cloned Aeromonas PHA biosynthesis genes, could produce a terpolymer of 3‐hydroxybutyrate (3HB), 3‐hydroxyvalerate (3HV), and 3‐hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) [P(3HB‐co‐3HV‐co‐3HHx)] from dodecanoic acid plus odd carbon number fatty acid. In a...

Zusammenfassung:The recombinant Escherichia coli strain, equipped with the newly cloned Aeromonas PHA biosynthesis genes, could produce a terpolymer of 3‐hydroxybutyrate (3HB), 3‐hydroxyvalerate (3HV), and 3‐hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) [P(3HB‐co‐3HV‐co‐3HHx)] from dodecanoic acid plus odd carbon number fatty acid. In addition, the orf1 gene of Aeromonas hydrophila was found to play a critical role in assimilating the 3HV monomer and in regulating the monomer fraction in the terpolymer. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
