Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are linear polyesters produced through fermentation of sugar or lipid. Biosynthesis of PHA consists of three enzymes which are acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (phaA), acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (phaB) and PHA synthase (phaC). Comamonas sp. is one of the strains commonly used...
