Article Description

Establishment of the regeneratable whole-cell catalyst platform for the production of biobased polymeric materials is a typical topic of synthetic biology. In this commentary, discovery story of a “lactate-polymerizing enzyme” (LPE) and LPE-based achievements for creating a new variety of polyesters with incorporated unnatural monomers are presented. Besides the importance of microbial platform itself is discussed referring to the “ballooning”-Escherichia coli.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]
