Abstract
A biosynthetic pathway for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] production by Corynebacterium glutamicum was developed by introducing the phbCAB operon derived from Ralstonia eutropha. P(3HB) synthase activity was detected in this recombinant C. glutamicum carrying a cell surface protein gene promoter. Intracellular P(3HB) was microscopically observed as inclusion granules and its content was calculated to be 22.5% (w/w) with a number average molecular weight of 2.1×105 and a polydispersity of 1.63.
