Title:
GREEN PROCESS FOR PRODUCING POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES AND CHEMICALS USING A RENEWABLE FEEDSTOCK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/149162
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Disclosed are organisms genetically engineered to make useful products when grown on ethanol as a carbon source. The organisms are genetically engineered to produce various useful products such as polyhydroxyalkanoates, diols, diacids, higher alcohols, and other useful chemicals.
