A Structure of the monomers used in the PHA synthesis in this study and B metabolic pathways for the production of sequence-regulated PHAs containing long-main-chain monomers. 2HB, 3HB, and 3HP are converted to the corresponding CoA thioesters by PCT. 4H2MB is converted by PCT and AlkK. 5HV and 6HHx are converted by AlkK. These CoA thioesters obtained here are used as the substrates for the polymerase reaction
