---|---|---|
physiological function | recombinant Escherichia coli expressing PHA synthase from Bacillus cereus shows a reduction of the molecular weight of PHA produced during the stationary phase of growth. Its carboxy end structure is capped by ethanol, as the result of alcoholytic cleavage of PHA chains by PhaRC induced by endogenous ethanol. This scission reaction is also induced by exogenous ethanol in both in vivo and in vitro assays. In addition, PhaRC has alcoholysis activity for PHA chains synthesized by other synthases | Bacillus cereus |
