Abstract
- Polythioesters are persistent biopolymers with remarkable features.
- Polythioester can be synthesized in vivo, in vitro and chemically.
- Microbial polythioester synthesis is currently limited to activated 3-mercaptoalkanoates.
- Three capable bacterial production strains are available at present.
