Engineering the xylose‐catabolizing Dahms pathway for production of poly(d‐lactate‐co‐glycolate) and poly(d‐lactate‐co‐glycolate‐co‐d‐2‐hydroxybutyrate) in Escherichia coli

Summary Poly(lactate‐co‐glycolate), PLGA, is a representative synthetic biopolymer widely used in medical applications. Recently, we reported one‐step direct fermentative production of PLGA and its copolymers by metabolically engineered Escherichia coli from xylose and glucose. In this study, we rep...
