Bio-based production of monomers and polymers by metabolically engineered microorganisms

- Bio-based production of chemicals is becoming increasingly important.
- Metabolic engineering allows enhanced production of monomers and polymers.
- Diamines, dicarboxylic and ω-amino acids are produced by engineered microbes.
- Diols, hydroxy acids, and aromatic monomers are produced by engineered microbes.
- Direct in vivo synthesis of polyesters and recombinant proteins is also possible.
