Fig. 6From: Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for the synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates using acetate as a main carbon sourcePHBV production by E. coli strains grown in shake flasks. E. coli recombinants harboring different plasmids were cultivated in MM medium supplemented with 10 g/L yeast extract, 5 g/L acetate, and 1.5 g/L propionate at 37 °C for 48 h. CDW (a), PHBV content (b), PHBV titer (c), and rCDW (d) were measured. The columns represent the averages of triplicate experiments, and the error bars represent standard deviationBack to article page
