Abstract:
:Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) terployesters P(3HB-co-3HV-co-3HHx) consisting of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV), and 3-hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) were produced by wild-type Aeromonas hydrophila 4AK4, its recombinant harboring PHA synthesis genes phaPCJ encoding PHA binding protein phasin, PHA synthase, and enoyl-CoA hydratase, and another its recombinant harboring phaAB encoding beta-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, respectively, when grown in lauric acid and/or valerate. The terpolyesters produced by A. hydrophila 4AK4 (phaAB) grown in velarate were found to produce copolymers P(3HB-co-3HV) containing high 3HV fractions with a maximum of 99 mol% 3HV. In terpolyesters, 3HV ranged from 9 to 32 mol% depending on the valerate concentration and strain used. A maximal terpolyester P(3HB-co-3HV-co-3HHx) content in dry cells was 71 wt%. Transmission electron microscopy study of A. hydrophila 4AK4 harboring phaPCJ revealed the full occupation of terpolyester P(3HB-co-3HV-co-HHx) in the cellular spaces. Terpolyesters with various monomer compositions showed changing thermal and mechanical properties. Those with higher 3HV fractions demonstrated an improved property over the lower HV containing ones.
