Enhanced production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) in recombinant Escherichia coli and EDTA–microwave-assisted cell lysis for polymer recovery

Abstract Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a bacterial polymer of great commercial importance due to its properties similar to polypropylene. With an aim to develop a recombinant system for economical polymer production, PHB biosynthesis genes from Bacillus aryabhattai PHB10 were cloned in E. coli. T...
