Abstract
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] was prepared by the ring-opening polymeriz
ation of (R,S)-beta-butyrolactone (BL) using two types of PHB depolymerase
with or without substrate-binding domains (SBD) as the catalyst. The SBD la
cking PHB depolymerase exhibited better catalytic activities for the ring-o
pening polymerization of BL.
