Abstract
BACKGROUND Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are microbial polyesters synthesized by PHA synthases. Naturally occurring PHA copolymers possess a random monomer sequence. The development of PhaCAR, a unique sequence-regulating PHA synthase, has enabled the spontaneous biosynthesis of PHA block copolymers. PhaCAR synthesizes both a block copolymer poly(2-hydroxybutyrate)-b-poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(2HB)-b-P(3HB)], and a random copolymer, poly(3HB-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate), indicating that the combination of monomers determines the monomer sequence. Therefore, in this study, we explored the substrate scope of PhaCAR and the monomer sequences of the resulting copolymers to identify the determinants of the monomer sequence. PhaCAR is a class I PHA synthase that is thought to incorporate long-main-chain hydroxyalkanoates (LMC HAs, > C3 in the main [backbone] chain). Thus, the LMC monomers, 4-hydroxy-2-methylbutyrate (4H2MB), 5-hydroxyvalerate (5HV), and 6-hydroxyhexanoate (6HHx), as well as 2HB, 3HB, and 3-hydroxypropionate (3HP) were tested. RESULTS Recombinant Escherichia coli harboring PhaCAR, CoA transferase and CoA ligase genes was used for PHA production. The medium contained the monomer precursors, 2HB, 3HB, 3HP, 4H2MB, 5HV, and 6HHx, either individually or in combination. As a result, homopolymers were obtained only for 3HB and 3HP. Moreover, 3HB and 3HP were randomly copolymerized by PhaCAR. 3HB-based binary copolymers P(3HB-co-LMC HA)s containing up to 2.9 mol% 4H2MB, 4.8 mol% 5HV, or 1.8 mol% 6HHx were produced. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis of the copolymers indicated that P(3HB-co-LMC HA)s had a random sequence. In contrast, combining 3HP and 2HB induced the synthesis of P(3HP)-b-P(2HB). Similarly, P(2HB) segment-containing block copolymers P(3HB-co-LMC HA)-b-P(2HB)s were synthesized. Binary copolymers of LMC HAs and 2HB were not obtained, indicating that the 3HB or 3HP unit is essential to the polymer synthesis. CONCLUSION PhaCAR possesses a wide substrate scope towards 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-hydroxyalkanoates. 3HB or 3HP units are essential for polymer synthesis using PhaCAR. The presence of a 2HB monomer is key to synthesizing block copolymers, such as P(3HP)-b-P(2HB) and P(3HB-co-LMC HA)-b-P(2HB)s. The copolymers that did not contain 2HB units had a random sequence. This study's results provide insights into the mechanism of sequence regulation by PhaCAR and pave the way for designing PHA block copolymers.

Abstract
Sequence-regulating polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase PhaCAR is a chimeric enzyme comprising PhaCs from Aeromonas caviae and Ralstonia eutropha (Cupriavidus necator). It spontaneously synthesizes a short-chain-length (SCL, ≤C5) block copolymer poly(2-hydroxybutyrate)-b-poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(2HB)-b-P(3HB)] from a mixture of monomer substrates. In this study, directed evolution of PhaCAR was performed to increase its activity toward a medium-chain-length (MCL, C6-12) monomer, 3-hydroxyhexanoyl (3HHx)-coenzyme A (CoA). Random mutagenesis and selection based on P(3HB-co-3HHx) production in Escherichia coli found that beneficial mutations N149D and F314L increase the 3HHx fraction. The site-directed saturation mutagenesis at position 314, which is adjacent to the catalytic center C315, demonstrated that F314H synthesizes the P(3HHx) homopolymer. The F314H mutant exhibited increased activity toward 3HHx-CoA compared with the parent enzyme, whereas the activity toward 3HB-CoA decreased. The predicted tertiary structure of PhaCAR by AlphaFold2 provided insight into the mechanism of the beneficial mutations. In addition, this finding enabled the synthesis of a new PHA block copolymer, P(3HHx)-b-P(2HB). Solvent fractionation indicated the presence of a covalent linkage between the polymer segments. This novel MCL-SCL block copolymer considerably expands the range of the molecular design of PHA block copolymers.

Abstract
The first polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) block copolymer poly(2-hydroxybutyrate-b-3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(2HB-b-3HB)] was previously synthesized using engineered Escherichia coli expressing a chimeric PHA synthase PhaCAR with monomer sequence-regulating capacity. In the present study, the physical properties of the block copolymer and its relevant random copolymer P(2HB-ran-3HB) were evaluated. Stress-strain tests on the P(88 mol% 2HB-b-3HB) film showed an increasing stress value during elongation up to 393%. In addition, the block copolymer film exhibited slow contraction behavior after elongation, indicating that P(2HB-b-3HB) is an elastomer-like material. In contrast, the P(92 mol% 2HB-ran-3HB) film, which was stretched up to 692% with nearly constant stress, was stretchable but not elastic. The differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that the P(2HB-b-3HB) contained the amorphous P(2HB) phase and the crystalline P(3HB) phase, whereas P(2HB-ran-3HB) was wholly amorphous. Therefore, the elasticity of P(2HB-b-3HB) can be attributed to the presence of the crystalline P(3HB) phase and a noncovalent crosslinked structure by the crystals. These results show the potential of block PHAs as elastic materials.

Abstract
Due to the increasing environmental pollution of un-degradable plastics and the consumption of non-renewable resources, more attention has been attracted by new bio-degradable/based polymers produced from renewable resources. Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most representative bio-based materials, with obvious advantages and disadvantages, and has a wide range of applications in industry, medicine, and research. By copolymerizing to make up for its deficiencies, the obtained copolymers have more excellent properties. The development of a one-step microbial metabolism production process of the lactate (LA)-based copolymers overcomes the inherent shortcomings in the traditional chemical synthesis process. The most common lactate-based copolymer is poly(lactate-co-3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(LA-co-3HB)], within which the difference of LA monomer fraction will cause the change in the material properties. It is necessary to regulate LA monomer fraction by appropriate methods. Based on synthetic biology and systems metabolic engineering, this review mainly focus on how did the different production strategies (such as enzyme engineering, fermentation engineering, etc.) of P(LA-co-3HB) optimize the chassis cells to efficiently produce it. In addition, the metabolic engineering strategies of some other lactate-based copolymers are also introduced in this article. These studies would facilitate to expand the application fields of the corresponding materials.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are naturally occurring biopolymers produced by microorganisms. PHAs have become attractive research biomaterials in the past few decades owing to their extensive potential industrial applications, especially as sustainable alternatives to the fossil fuel feedstock-derived products such as plastics. Among the biopolymers are the bioplastics and oligomers produced from the fermentation of renewable plant biomass. Bioplastics are intracellularly accumulated by microorganisms as carbon and energy reserves. The bioplastics, however, can also be produced through a biochemistry process that combines fermentative secretory production of monomers and/or oligomers and chemical synthesis to generate a repertoire of biopolymers. PHAs are particularly biodegradable and biocompatible, making them a part of today's commercial polymer industry. Their physicochemical properties that are similar to those of petrochemical-based plastics render them potential renewable plastic replacements. The design of efficient tractable processes using renewable biomass holds key to enhance their usage and adoption. In 2008, a lactate-polymerizing enzyme was developed to create new category of polyester, lactic acid (LA)-based polymer and related polymers. This review aims to introduce different strategies including metabolic and enzyme engineering to produce LA-based biopolymers and related oligomers that can act as precursors for catalytic synthesis of polylactic acid. As the cost of PHA production is prohibitive, the review emphasizes attempts to use the inexpensive plant biomass as substrates for LA-based polymer and oligomer production. Future prospects and challenges in LA-based polymer and oligomer production are also highlighted.

Abstract
Microorganisms produce diverse polymers for various purposes such as storing genetic information, energy, and reducing power, and serving as structural materials and scaffolds. Among these polymers, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are microbial polyesters synthesized and accumulated intracellularly as a storage material of carbon, energy, and reducing power under unfavorable growth conditions in the presence of excess carbon source. PHAs have attracted considerable attention for their wide range of applications in industrial and medical fields. Since the first discovery of PHA accumulating bacteria about 100 years ago, remarkable advances have been made in the understanding of PHA biosynthesis and metabolic engineering of microorganisms toward developing efficient PHA producers. Recently, nonnatural polyesters have also been synthesized by metabolically engineered microorganisms, which opened a new avenue toward sustainable production of more diverse plastics. Herein, the current state of PHAs and nonnatural polyesters is reviewed, covering mechanisms of microbial polyester biosynthesis, metabolic pathways, and enzymes involved in biosynthesis of short-chain-length PHAs, medium-chain-length PHAs, and nonnatural polyesters, especially 2-hydroxyacid-containing polyesters, metabolic engineering strategies to produce novel polymers and enhance production capabilities and fermentation, and downstream processing strategies for cost-effective production of these microbial polyesters. In addition, the applications of PHAs and prospects are discussed.

Abstract
Stereocomplex (SC) formation was reported for the first time for enantiomeric alternating copolymers consisting of repeating units with two types of chiral centers, poly(lactic acid-alt-2-hydroxybutanoic acid)s [P(LA-alt-2HB)s]. l,l-Configured poly(l-lactic acid-alt-l-2-hydroxybutanoic acid) [P(LLA-alt-l-2HB)] and d,d-configured poly(d-lactic acid-alt-d-2-hydroxybutanoic acid) [P(DLA-alt-d-2HB)] were amorphous. Blends of P(LLA-alt-l-2HB) and P(DLA-alt-d-2HB) were crystallizable and showed typical SC-type wide-angle X-ray diffraction profiles similar to those reported for stereocomplexed blends of poly(l-lactic acid) and poly(d-lactic acid) homopolymers and of poly(l-2-hydroxybutanoic acid) and poly(d-2-hydroxybutanoic acid) homopolymers, and of l,l-configured poly(l-lactic acid-co-l-2-hydroxybutanoic acid) [P(LLA-co-l-2HB)] and d,d-configured poly(d-lactic acid-co-d-2-hydroxybutanoic acid) [P(DLA-co-d-2HB)] random copolymers. The melting temperature values and melting enthalpy values at 100% crystallinity for stereocomplexed solvent-evaporated and precipitated P(LLA-alt-l-2HB)/P(DLA-alt-d-2HB) blends were correspondingly 187.5 and 187.9 °C, and 98.1 and 91.8 J g−1. Enantiomeric polymer blending of P(LLA-alt-l-2HB) and P(DLA-alt-d-2HB) can confer crystallizability by stereocomplexation and the biodegradable materials with a wide variety of physical properties and biodegradability are highly expected to be prepared by synthesis of alternating copolymers of various combinations of two types of chiral α-substituted 2-hydroxyalkanoic acid monomers and their SC crystallization. Stereocomplex formation was reported for alternating copolymers of chiral α-substituted 2-hydroxyalkanoic acids which can be utilized for preparation of biodegradable materials with a variety of physical properties and biodegradability.![]()

Synergy of valine and threonine supplementation on poly(2-hydroxybutyrate-block-3-hydroxybutyrate) synthesis in engineered Escherichia coli expressing chimeric polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase.

Abstract
The engineered chimeric polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase PhaCAR is composed of N-terminal portion of Aeromonas caviae PHA synthase and C-terminal portion of Ralstonia eutropha (Cupriavidus necator) PHA synthase. PhaCAR has a unique and useful capacity to synthesize the block PHA copolymer poly(2-hydroxybutyrate-block-3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(2HB-b-3HB)] in engineered Escherichia coli from exogenous 2HB and 3HB. In the present study, we initially attempted to incorporate the amino acid-derived 2-hydroxyalkanoate (2HA) units using PhaCAR and the 2HA-CoA-supplying enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (LdhA) and CoA transferase (HadA). Cells harboring the genes for PhaCAR, LdhA, and HadA, as well as for the 3HB-CoA-supplying enzymes β-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, were cultivated with supplementation of four hydrophobic amino acids, i.e., leucine, valine (Val), isoleucine (Ile), and phenylalanine, in the medium. No hydrophobic amino acid-derived monomers were incorporated into the polymer, which was most likely because of the strict substrate specificity of PhaCAR; however, P(2HB-co-3HB) was unexpectedly produced with Val supplementation. The copolymer was likely P(2HB-b-3HB) based on proton nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. Based on the endogenous pathways in E. coli, 2HB units are likely derived from threonine (Thr) through deamination and dihydroxylation. In fact, dual supplementation with Thr and Val showed synergy on the 2HB fraction of the polymer. Val supplementation promoted the 2HB synthesis likely by inhibiting the metabolism of 2-ketobutyrate into Ile and/or activating Thr dehydratase. In conclusion, the LdhA/HadA/PhaCAR pathway served as the system for the synthesis of P(2HB-b-3HB) from biomass-derived carbon sources.

Abstract
Poly(2-hydroxybutyrate) [P(2HB)] is an artificial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesized using engineered 2-hydroxyalkanoate-polymerizing PHA synthase. In the present study, the effect of temperature on P(2HB) synthesis was investigated. Recombinant Escherichia coli harboring PHA synthetic genes were cultivated with 2HB and 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) supplementation at varied temperatures ranging from 24 to 36°C for the synthesis of P(2HB) and natural PHA P(3HB), respectively. P(2HB) production and its molecular weight increased considerably at a threshold temperature of 32-34°C. The trend was not observed during the synthesis of P(3HB). Notably, the threshold temperature was close to the glass transition temperature (T g) of P(2HB) (30°C), while the T g of P(3HB) (4°C) was much lower than the cultivation temperature. The results suggest that thermal motion of the polymer chains influenced the production and molecular weight of the obtained polymer. According to the results, the production and molecular weight of PHA drastically changes at the threshold temperature, which is linked to the T g of the polymer. The hypothesis should be applicable to PHAs in general, and potentially explains the inability to biosynthesize high-molecular-weight polylactate homopolymer with a T g of 60°C.

Abstract
Poly(lactate-co-glycolate), PLGA, is a representative synthetic biopolymer widely used in medical applications. Recently, we reported one-step direct fermentative production of PLGA and its copolymers by metabolically engineered Escherichia coli from xylose and glucose. In this study, we report development of metabolically engineered E. coli strains for the production of PLGA and poly(d-lactate-co-glycolate-co-d-2-hydroxybutyrate) having various monomer compositions from xylose as a sole carbon source. To achieve this, the metabolic flux towards Dahms pathway was modulated using five different synthetic promoters for the expression of Caulobacter crescentus XylBC. Further metabolic engineering to concentrate the metabolic flux towards d-lactate and glycolate resulted in production of PLGA and poly(d-lactate-co-glycolate-co-d-2-hydroxybutyrate) with various monomer fractions from xylose. The engineered E. coli strains produced polymers containing 8.8-60.9 mol% of glycolate up to 6.93 g l-1 by fed-batch cultivation in a chemically defined medium containing xylose. Finally, the biocompatibility of poly(d-lactate-co-glycolate-co-d-2-hydroxybutyrate) was confirmed by live/dead assay using human mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
Metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strains were constructed to effectively produce novel glycolate-containing biopolymers from glucose. First, the glyoxylate bypass pathway and glyoxylate reductase were engineered such as to generate glycolate. Second, glycolate and lactate were activated by the Megasphaera elsdenii propionyl-CoA transferase to synthesize glycolyl-CoA and lactyl-CoA, respectively. Third, β-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase from Ralstonia eutropha were introduced to synthesize 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA from acetyl-CoA. At last, the Ser325Thr/Gln481Lys mutant of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase from Pseudomonas sp. 61-3 was over-expressed to polymerize glycolyl-CoA, lactyl-CoA and 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA to produce poly(glycolate-co-lactate-co-3-hydroxybutyrate). The recombinant E. coli was able to accumulate the novel terpolymer with a titer of 3.90g/l in shake flask cultures. The structure of the resulting polymer was chemically characterized by proton NMR analysis. Assessment of thermal and mechanical properties demonstrated that the produced terpolymer possessed decreased crystallinity and improved toughness, in comparison to poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) homopolymer. This is the first study reporting efficient microbial production of poly(glycolate-co-lactate-co-3-hydroxybutyrate) from glucose.

Abstract
Bacterial polyester polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have been produced in engineered Escherichia coli, which turned into an efficient and versatile platform by applying metabolic and enzyme engineering approaches. The present study aimed at drawing out the latent potential of this organism using genome-wide mutagenesis. To meet this goal, a transposon-based mutagenesis was carried out on E. coli, which was transformed to produce poly(lactate-co-3-hydroxybutyrate) from glucose. A high-throughput screening of polymer-accumulating cells on Nile red-containing plates isolated one mutant that produced 1.8-fold higher quantity of polymer without severe disadvantages in the cell growth and monomer composition of the polymer. The transposon was inserted into the locus within the gene encoding MtgA that takes part, as a non-lethal component, in the formation of the peptidoglycan backbone. Accordingly, the mtgA-deleted strain E. coli JW3175, which was a derivate of superior PHA-producing strain BW25113, was examined for polymer production, and exhibited an enhanced accumulation of the polymer (7.0 g/l) compared to the control (5.2 g/l). Interestingly, an enlargement in cell width associated with polymer accumulation was observed in this strain, resulting in a 1.6-fold greater polymer accumulation per cell compared to the control. This result suggests that the increase in volumetric capacity for accumulating intracellular material contributed to the enhanced polymer production. The mtgA deletion should be combined with conventional engineering approaches, and thus, is a promising strategy for improved production of intracellularly accumulated biopolymers.
