Polyhydroxyalkanoates ( PHA), a family of intracellular polyester synthesized by many bacteria, have received increasing attention due to its excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility, optical activity and piezoelectricity, as well as potential applications in areas of biodegradable packaging, tissue engineering and drug delivery.
This thesis focused on the study of PHA synthase gene (phaC), which is a key enzyme for PHA production. The purpose of the thesis is to discover and produc...
