Synthesis of Medium‐Chain‐Length Polyhydroxyalkanoate Homopolymers, Random Copolymers, and Block Copolymers by an Engineered Strain of Pseudomonas entomophila

Medium‐chain‐length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl‐PHAs), widely used in medical area, are commonly synthesized by Pseudomonas spp. This study tries to use β‐oxidation pathways engineered P. entomophila to achieve single source of a series of mcl‐monomers for microbial production of PHA homopolymers. The effort is proven successful for the first time to obtain a wide range of mcl‐PHA homopolymers from engineered P. entomophila LAC23 grown on various...
