  • METHOD TO PRODUCE BRANCHED-CHAIN POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES AND BRANCHED-CHAIN 3-HYDROXYACIDS FROM GLUCOSE
    Publication number: 20230416791
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions that enable the production of branched-chain polyhydroxyalkanoates, branched-chain 3-hydroxyacids (BCHA) (PHA monomers), and branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA) in Pseudomonas putida KT2440. The branched-chain molecules enabled by this platform enable novel chemistries that are not accessible via the existing paradigm which is limited to straight-chain molecules. Further disclosed herein are methods and compositions for deciphering the mechanisms of bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis is crucial for both the engineering of bacterial hosts to produce fatty acid-derived molecules and the development of new antibiotics.
