A forward-design approach to increase the production of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate in genetically engineered Escherichia coli.

A forward-design approach to increase the production of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate in genetically engineered Escherichia coli.

Biopolymers, such as poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P(3HB)) are produced as a carbon store in an array of organisms and exhibit characteristics which are similar to oil-derived plastics, yet have the added advantages of biodegradability and biocompatibility. Despite these advantages, P(3HB) production is c...
