Production of polyhydroxybutyrate in sugarcane
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2006 SummaryWe report here the production of the bacterial polyester, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), in the crop species sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids). The PHB biosynthesis enzymes of Ralstonia eutropha [β‐ketothiolase (PHAA), acetoacetyl‐reductase (PHAB) and PHB synthase (PHAC)] were expressed in the cytosol or targeted to mitochondria or plastids.

Enhanced polyhydroxybutyrate production in transgenic sugarcane [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2012 SummaryPolyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a bacterial polyester that has properties similar to some petrochemically produced plastics. Plant‐based production has the potential to make this biorenewable plastic highly competitive with petrochemical‐based plastics. We previously reported that transgenic sugarcane produced PHB at levels as high as 1.8% leaf dry

Engineering Escherichia coli for Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate Production from Methanol
Bioengineering, 2023 The naturally occurring one-carbon assimilation pathways for the production of acetyl-CoA and its derivatives often have low product yields because of carbon loss as CO2.

Finding of Novel Galactose Utilizing Halomonas sp. YK44 for Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Production
Polymers, 2022 Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable bioplastic with potential applications as an alternative to petroleum-based plastics. However, efficient PHB production remains difficult. The main cost of PHB production is attributed to carbon sources; hence,
