Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production from crude glycerol by genetic engineering of Rhodotorula glutinis
PRODUCTS USED
ABSTRACT
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a member of the Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) family, which is generally produced through microbial biosynthesis. The synthetic biology tools are applied to transform PHB genes (PhaA, PhaB and PhaC) into an oleaginous yeast (Rhodotorula glutinis) genome. Western blot analysis confirms the expression of PhaA, PhaB and Pha
