Biosynthesis of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyhexanoate) from CO<sub>2</sub> by a Recombinant <i>Cupriavidus</i><i>necator</i>

The copolyester of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and 3-hydoxyhexanoate (3HHx), PHBHHx, is one of the most practical kind of bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoates due to its high flexibility and marine biodegradability. PHBHHx is usually produced from vegetable oils or fatty acids through β-oxidation, whereas bi...
