“…Production of the P(LA-3HB) copolymer has been studied earlier in vitro and in vivo in two bacterial strains, Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium glutamicum, as reviewed in ( Choi et al, 2020 ), and most recently in vivo by us in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ( Ylinen et al, 2021 ) . In previous studies polymers with D-lactic acid contents from 3 to 30 mol% ( Kadoya et al, 2015 ), 20–50 mol% ( Yang et al, 2010 ), 8–73 mol% ( Nduko et al, 2014 ), and from 55 to 86 mol% ( Jung et al, 2010 ), were obtained by controlling physiological parameters such as aeration and monomer feeding, and by expressing different PHA synthases.…”
