Biosynthesis, in vivo and in vitro depolymerizations of intracellular medium chain length poly-3 hydroxyalkanoates / Siti Nor Syairah Anis

Medium chain length poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) is a biodegradable polymer made of different hydroxyalkanoates with (R)-configuration as monomeric units and a source of valuable biomaterials. Biosynthesis, in vivo and in vitro depolymerization of intracellular mcl-PHA in Pseudomonas putida...
