Estimating the term…
The present invention is in the field of biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). The invention relates to a genetically engineered microorganism having at least one gene involved in the metabolism, preferably in the production, of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). This microorganism is useful in commercial production of polyhydroxyalkanoates. The present invention further relates to a method for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA).
A genetically engineered microorganism having at least one modification in at least one gene encoding a protein involved in the metabolism of polyhydroxyalkanoate(s) (PHA), or in at least one gene encoding a protein, which interferes in the metabolism of the microorganism with the production of PHA, wherein the at least one modification causes deposition and/or overproduction of medium or long chain polyhydroxyalkanoate(s) PHA.
A nucleic acid sequence which constitutes at least one gene encoding a protein involved in the metabolism of polyhydroxyalkanoate(s) (PHA), or in at least one gene encoding a protein, which interferes in the metabolism of the microorganism with the production of PHA, wherein the at least one modification causes deposition and/or overproduction of medium or long chain polyhydroxyalkanoate(s) PHA.
