Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] with high P(3HB) content by recombinant Escherichia coli harboring the Alcaligenes latus P(3HB) biosynthesis genes and the E-coli ftsZ gene

Filamentation-suppressed recombinant Escherichia coli strain harboring the Alcaligenes latus polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis genes and the E. coli ftsZ gene was constructed and cultivated for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] with high concentration and high content. By the pH-stat fed-batch culture of this recombinant E. coli strain XL1-Blue(pJC5), the final cell concentration and P(3HB) concentration obtained in 44.25...
