Overexpression of succinyl-CoA synthase for poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyvalerate) production in engineered<i>Escherichia coli</i>BL21(DE3)

Abstract

Engineered E. coli YHY99 was able to utilize propionate with a 4·5-fold increase in rate, as compared to the control strain, and resulted in the synthesis of a copolymer with high 3HV monomer content.
