Abstract:
A 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate-co-lactate terpolymer, and a method for preparing the terpolymer are provided to use the terpolymer as a biodegradable polymer capable of replacing synthetic plastics. A 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate-co-lactate terpolymer comprises lactate, 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate as a repeating unit. The preparation method comprises the step of cultivating or culturing the cell or plant having the gene of an enzyme which converts lactate into lactyl-CoA and converts 3-hydroxyalkanoate into 3-hydroxyalkanoyl-CoA and the gene of a polyhydroxyalkanoate(PHA) synthetase.
Abstract:
A medium-chain-length 3-hydroxyalkanoate-lactate copolymer is provided to replace uses of the conventional synthetic plastics and to be applicable to medical fields. A medium-chain-length 3-hydroxyalkanoate-lactate copolymer contains lactate and 3-hydroxyalkanoate of medium chain length as repeating units. The 3-hydroxyalkanoate of medium chain length is selected from the group comprising 3-hydroxyhexanoate, 3-hydroxyheptanoate, 3-hydroxyoctanoate, 3-hydrononanoate, 3-hydroxydecanoate, 3-hydroxyundecanoate, and 3-hydroxydodecanoate. A method for preparing the copolymer includes a step of culturing or cultivating a cell or plant having a gene of an enzyme that coverts lactate into lactyl-CoA and 3-hydroxyalkanoate into 3-hydroxyalkanoyl-CoA, and a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase gene.
Abstract:
A 3-hydroxybutyrate-4-hydroxybutyrate-lactate terpolymer is provided to be a biodegradable polymer and to replace the conventional synthetic plastics. A 3-hydroxybutyrate-4-hydroxybutyrate-lactate terpolymer contains lactate, 4-hydroxybutyrate, and 3-hydroxybutyrate as repeating units. A method for preparing the 3-hydroxybutyrate-4-hydroxybutyrate-lactate terpolymer includes a step of culturing or cultivating cells or plants having a gene of an enzyme, a phosphotransbutylase gene, a butyrate kinase gene, and a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase gene. The enzyme coverts lactate into lactyl-CoA and converts 3-hydroxyalkanoate into 3-hydroxyalkanoyl-CoA.
Abstract:
A 4-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxypropionate-lactate terpolymer is provided to replace the conventional synthetic plastics and to be usable in medical fields. A 4-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxypropionate-lactate terpolymer contains lactate, 4-hydroxybutyrate, and 3-hydroxypropionate as repeating units. A method for preparing the 4-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxypropionate-lactate terpolymer includes a step of culturing or cultivating cells or plants having a gene of an enzyme that coverts lactate into lactyl-CoA and converts 3-hydroxyalkanoate into 3-hydroxyalkanoyl-CoA, a phosphotransbutylase gene, a butyrate kinase gene, and a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase gene.
