Lactate-enriched high-molecular-weight LAHB combines practical toughness with biodegradability

Caption

Reinforced expression of the lactate-polymerizing enzyme gene in recombinant bacteria leads to enhanced production of poly[(D-lactate)-co-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (LAHB) with improved toughness and biodegradability.
