摘要:
A method for manufacturing polyhydroxyalkanoate-containing structure, at least a part of a base material surface of the structure being coated with polyhydroxyalkanoate, the method comprises the steps of immobilizing a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase on the base material surface, synthesizing, on the base material surface, polyhydroxyalkanoate using a 3-hydroxyacyl coenzyme A to become the substrate of the synthase and the synthase and coating at least a part of the base material surface with the synthesized polyhydroxyalkanoate, wherein the synthase contains an amino acid sequence capable of binding to the base material. A polyhydroxyalkanoate-containing structure, at least a part of a base material surface of the structure being coated with a polyhydroxyalkanoate, comprises the base material, a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase immobilized on the base material surface, and the polyhydroxyalkanoate with which at least a part of the base material surface is coated, wherein the synthase contains an amino acid sequence capable of binding to the base material.
摘要:
A polyhydroxyalkanoate is disclosed which has in the molecule a unit represented by Chemical Formula (1). wherein R is arbitrarily selected from a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, CN, NO 2 , COOR', SO 2 R", CH 3 , C 2 H 5 , C 3 H 7 , C(CH 3 ) 2 H and C(CH 3 ) 3 ; where R' is H, Na, K, CH 3 or C 2 H 5 , and R" is OH, ONa, OK, a halogen atom, OCH 3 or OC 2 H 5 ; and x is an integer arbitrarily selected from 1 to 8; with the proviso that a polyhydroxyalkanoate is excluded which has a hydrogen atom as R and x in all the units is 2 or 4. Also disclosed is a process for producing the polyhydroxyalkanoate by the use of a microorganism having the ability to produce the polyhydroxyalkanoate and accumulate it in the bacterial body.

摘要:
To provide a novel polyhydroxyalkanoate and a manufacturing method by a microorganism capable of substantially reducing unintended monomer units and obtaining the polyhydroxyalkanoate in a high yield. A microorganism capable of synthesizing a novel polyhydroxyalkanoate having 3-hydroxy-substituted benzoylalkanoic acid as a monomer unit using a substituted benzoylalkanoic acid as a material is cultured in the medium containing a substituted benzoylalkanoic acid, then the polyhydroxyalkanoate produced in the cultured bacteria is extracted and recovered.
摘要:
To provide a structure that has both drug holding capability and sustained releasability a liposome and mechanical strength of polyhydroxyalkanoate, is excellent in holding capability for hydrophilic drugs and other watersoluble substances as well as liphophilic drugs and other hydrophobic substances, and is capable of controlling the sustained releasability. To coat with polyhydroxyalkanoate at least part of the outer wall of the liposome.
