<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To express PhaG together with acyl CoA synthetase and PHA synthase in organisms in order to carry out production of PHA. <P>SOLUTION: A method for producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from fatty acid biosynthetic pathways using a 3-hydroxy acyl ACP thioesterase, a PHA synthase, and an acyl CoA synthetase, has been developed. Methodology for enabling PHA production from fatty acid biosynthetic pathways in non-native bacterial PHA producers and plants by using an enzyme having the catalytic activity of 3-hydroxy acyl ACP thioesterase, an acyl CoA synthetase (with substrate specificity for medium chain length 3-hydroxy fatty acids) and a medium chain length PHA synthase has been developed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
