Abstract
Recombinant Escherichia coli strains harboring the genes from Alcalige nes eutrophus for polyhydroxyalkanoate biosynthesis were constructed a nd compared for their ability to synthesize poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) in a defined medium with whey as the sole carbon source. The highest PHB concentration and PHB content obtained were 5.2 g/L and 81% of dry ce ll weight, respectively.
