Future of microbial polyesters
Numerous microorganisms accumulate polyesters classified as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as carbon and energy storage material when the growth condition is unfavorable in the presence of excess carbon source. Natural PHAs typically consist of various (R)-hydroxycarboxylic acids, and exhibit different material properties depending on the monomer composition. Such diversity comes from different m...
متن کاملMicrobial production of lactate-containing polyesters
Due to our increasing concerns on environmental problems and limited fossil resources, biobased production of chemicals and materials through biorefinery has been attracting much attention. Optimization of the metabolic performance of microorganisms, the key biocatalysts for the efficient production of the desired target bioproducts, has been achieved by metabolic engineering. Metabolic enginee...
متن کاملBiomedical Applications of Biodegradable Polyesters
The focus in the field of biomedical engineering has shifted in recent years to biodegradable polymers and, in particular, polyesters. Dozens of polyester-based medical devices are commercially available, and every year more are introduced to the market. The mechanical performance and wide range of biodegradation properties of this class of polymers allow for high degrees of selectivity for tar...
متن کاملPhotodegradable Polyesters for Triggered Release
Photodegradable polyesters were synthesized with a photolabile monomer 2-nitrophenylethylene glycol and dioyl chlorides with different lengths. These polymers can be assembled to form polymeric particles with encapsulation of target substances. Light activation can degrade these particles and release payloads in both aqueous solutions and RAW 264.7 cells.
متن کاملBiocatalytic synthesis of fluorinated polyesters.
The biocatalytic synthesis of fluorinated polyesters from activated diesters and fluorinated diols has been investigated. The effects of time, continuous enzyme addition, enzyme concentration, and diol chain length were studied to determine the factors that would limit chain extension, such as enzyme inactivation, enzyme specificity, the equilibrium position for the reaction, hydrolytic side re...
