Engineering Biosynthesis Mechanisms for Diversifying Polyhydroxyalkanoates

At present, PHA diversity is achieved by various PHA synthases with diverse specificities. It is highly desirable to assemble a platform PHA-producing bacterium containing various PHA synthases with ‘on and off’ inducible functions such that we can use the same bacterium for producing various PHAs under the same or different growth conditions. Halomonas spp. are strong candidates for both low-cost PHA and high value-added PHA production owing to...
