Comparison of Glucose, Acetate and Ethanol as Carbon Resource for Production of Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate) and Other Acetyl-CoA Derivatives
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a biodegradable and biocompatible thermoplastic, and synthesized from the central metabolite acetyl-CoA. The acetyl-CoA synthesis from glucose presents low atomic economy due to the release of CO2 in pyruvate decarboxylation. As ethanol and acetate can be converted i...
