In Vivo Characterization and Application of the PHA Synthase from <i>Azotobacter vinelandii</i> for the Biosynthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Containing 4-Hydroxybutyrate

In Vivo Characterization and Application of the PHA Synthase from <i>Azotobacter vinelandii</i> for the Biosynthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Containing 4-Hydroxybutyrate

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic naturally synthesized by many microorganisms, and the PHA synthase (PhaC) is known to be the key enzyme involved in determining the material properties and monomer composition of the produced PHA. The ability to exploit widely distributed,...
