Metabolic engineering of polyhydroxyalkanoate monomer synthases

摘要

A novel pathway for the synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoate is provided. A method of synthesizing a recombinant polyhydroxyalkanoate monomer synthase is also provided. These recombinant polyhydroxyalknoate synthases are derived from multifunctional fatty acid synthases or polyketide synthases and generate hydroxyacyl acids capable of polymerization by a polyhydroxyalknoate synthase.
