Low Carbon Concentration Feeding Improves Medium-Chain-Length Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production in Escherichia coli Strains With Defective β-Oxidation

Medium-chain-length (MCL) polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) of near homopolymeric composition are unnatural polymers, having almost identical repeating units throughout the polymer chain. These homopolymeric PHAs can be produced by β-oxidation defective bacterial hosts. Escherichia coli is an attractive...
