Production of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates by sequential feeding of xylose and octanoic acid in engineered <it>Pseudomonas putida</it> KT2440

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p><it>Pseudomonas putida</it> KT2440 is able to synthesize large amounts of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs). To reduce the substrate cost, which represents nearly 50% of the total PHA production cost, x...
