Versatile sugar and valerate metabolic pathways in Paraburkholderia xenovorans LB400 enable tailored poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) production

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) polymers are accumulated by diverse prokaryotes. Their distinct monomer compositions enable their use as tailored bioplastics. The aims were to characterize the poly(3-hydroxybutyrat
