Also, a PHA-negative mutant strain of A. eutrophus harboring
these genes accumulated a terpolyester consisting of
3-hydroxybutyrate, 3-hydroxyhexanoate and 4-hydroxyhexanoate
when cultivated on 4-hydroxyhexanoate. 173
Rhodococcus ruber synthesized a copolyester of 3-hydroxybutyrate,
3-hydroxyvalerate, 3-hydroxyhexanoate and
4-hydroxyhexanoate from hexanoate. 173 Two strains of
Aeromonas sp. accumulated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-
hydroxyhexanoate) when grown on fatty acids of more than
12 carbon atoms
