Figure 4From: Secretion of polyhydroxybutyrate in Escherichia coli using a synthetic biological engineering approachPHB secretion. A. Schematic for PHB secretion containing dual plasmid system pCMEL3 and pLG575. Phasin with attached signal peptide binds to PHB granule surface and the PHB-phasin-signal peptide complex is targeted for type I secretion. B. pCMEL3 plasmid consisting of phaC, phaC, and phaB genes from pBHR68. pCMEL3 also contains the genes needed for phasin-HylA production.Back to article page
