The Use Of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthase (Phacbp-M-Cpf4) And Newly Identified Enoyl-Coa Hydratase (Phajss) For The Production Of Poly[(R)-3-Hydroxybutyrate-Co-(R)-3-Hydroxyhexanoate]
Most industrial plastics are produced using non-renewable resources such as petroleum. Hence, polymer production processes based on renewable resources must be developed to reduce the carbon footprints left by human activities. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are intracellular biopolyesters synthesized...

Most industrial plastics are produced using non-renewable resources such as petroleum. Hence, polymer production processes based on renewable resources must be developed to reduce the carbon footprints left by human activities. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are intracellular biopolyesters synthesized by numerous microorganisms as carbon storage under culture conditions of limiting essential nutrients but with excess carbon source. Besides, PHA is biodegradable. Among the various types of PHA, poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate] [P(3HB-co-3HHx)] has a high potential to serve as a commercial bioplastic due to it having the most identical properties to petroleum-based plastics. PHA synthase of Chromobacterium sp. USM2 (PhaCCs) and PHA synthase isolated from mangrove metagenome (PhaCBP-M-CPF4) have been reported to be able to produce P(3HB-co-3HHx). In this study, PhaCCs and PhaCBP-M-CPF4 as well as enoyl-CoA hydratase of Streptomyces sp. strain CFMR 7 (PhaJSs) were characterized.
