Abstract
The copolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) P(3HB-co-3HHx) presents interesting mechanical and physical properties of industrial viewpoint. Variations in the amounts of monomer 3HHx result in different characteristics and application possibilities. Burkholderia sacchari is a bacterium capable of producing P(3HB-co-3HHx) at levels up to 2 mol% 3HHx from glucose and hexanoic…
