| 제목 | Production of biodegradable polymer PHB (polyhydroxybutyrate) by introducing PHA genes into chloroplast of model microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii |
| 초록 | The problem of waste plastic is emerging asan important environmental problem. To solve this problem, the use ofbiodegradable plastic is recommended. PHB, typical biodegradable plastic, has awide range of applications because its properties such as melting point,crystallinity, and tensile strength are very similar to those of polypropylene.In addition, it is environmentally friendly because it can be decomposed bysoil microorganisms. However, the current fermentation-based process isdifficult to commercialize because there is a problem that the production costof PHB increases by using expensive refined sugar. This problem can be overcomeby using photosynthetic organisms as a PHB producer. In this study, anexperiment was conducted to directly produce PHB from carbon dioxide byinserting the PHB gene into the chloroplast of the photosynthetic microorganismChlamydomonas reinhardtii. |
