Heterologous polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase expression enables poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) production from fatty acids in Rhodobacter capsulatus.
This study demonstrates PHBH biosynthesis in R. capsulatus and indicates that limited 3HHx-CoA supply rather than polymerization capacity is the primary bottleneck, providing a foundation for further pathway and host optimization toward flexible PHBH production from diverse substrates.
