Engineering the pathway in Escherichia coli for the synthesis of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates consisting of both even- and odd-chain monomers

Abstract Background Medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs) containing various chain length monomers from C6 to C14 have more applications besides sustainable and environmental-friendly biomaterials owing to their superior physical and mechanical properties. We engineered a reversed fat...
