<p>Nucleic acids, proteins, and methods for the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoate polymer materials are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, expression of a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase protein with a peroxisome targeting peptide results in the biosynthesis of medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates. In an alternative embodiment, exogenous addition of fatty acids to a plant or cell containing a peroxisome targeted polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase protein leads to the biosynthesis of novel polymeric materials.</p> |
