Cupriavidus necator has a wide metabolic range and naturally creates biopolymer, poly[(R)-3 hydroxybutyrate] (PHB). Using engineering techniques, carbon flux can be directed away from PHB synthesis toward the generation of biofuels bioproducts.Researchers demonstrated production many biofuel products using C. necator, including methyl ketones, isoprenoids terpenes, isobutanol, alkanes alkenes, ...
