METHOD FOR POLYMERISING GLYCOLIC ACID WITH MICROORGANISMS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing and preparing polyglycolate (PGA) from genetically engineered organisms. More specifically, the invention relates to a method comprising two steps : 1) culturing, in a medium containing glycolic acid or not, the microorganism expressing a gene encoding an enzyme that converts glycolate into glycolyl-CoA, and a gene encoding polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase which uses glycolyl-CoA as a substrate, 2) recovering the polyglycolate polymer.
