Polyhydroxybutyrate Biosynthesis

Polyhydroxybutyrate Biosynthesis is a metabolic pathway in which certain prokaryotic microorganisms synthesize polyhydroxybutyrate, a biodegradable intracellular polyester, through the enzymatic polymerization of hydroxyacyl-CoA thioesters derived from acetyl-CoA, serving as a carbon and energy storage mechanism under nutrient-limiting conditions.
