Patent

CA 2113412

The present invention relates to transgenic plants which produce poly-beta.-D- hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) and related poly-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA). The production of PHB is accomplished by genetically transforming the plants with modified genes from microorganisms. The genes encode the enzymes required to synthesise PHB from acetyl-CoA or related metabolites. PHB is a very useful polymer which is biodegradable.

Plantes transgéniques qui produisent de l'acide poly-bêta-D-hydroxybutyrique (PHB) et des polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHA) apparentés. La production de PHB est effectuée par transformation génétique des plantes à l'aide de gènes modifiés de microorganismes. Lesdits gènes codent les enzymes nécessaires pour synthétiser le PHB à partir d'acétyle-CoA ou de métabolites apparentés. Le PHB est un polymère très utile qui est biodégradable.
