Medical devices and applications of polyhydroxyalkanoate polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation times of polyhydroxyalkanoates are controlled under physiological conditions, and the degradation rates are controlled with less than one year under certain physiological conditions.
Patent
Polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions having controlled degradation rates
TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of biocompatible poly(4HB) compositions with controlled degradation rates have been developed, including foams, coatings, meshes, and microparticles.
Patent
Biological systems for manufacture of polyhydroxyalkanoate polymers containing 4-hydroxyacids
TL;DR: In this paper, the gene encoding a 4-hydroxybutyryl-Co A transferase has been isolated from bacteria and integrated into the genome of bacteria also expressing a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase, to yield an improved production process for 4HB-containing polyhydroxalkanoates using transgenic organisms, including both bacteria and plants.

David A. Berry,Dan E. Robertson,Frank A. Skraly,Brian D. Green,Christian Perry Ridley,Sriram Kosuri,Nikos Basil Reppas,Martha Sholl,Noubar B. Afeyan +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify pathways and mechanisms to facilitate the production of carbon-based products of interest such as ethanol, ethylene, chemicals, polymers, n-alkanes, isoprenoids, pharmaceutical products or intermediates thereof in photoautotrophic organisms.
Patent
Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates from polyols

TL;DR: Recombinant processes are provided whereby additional gens are introduced into E.coli which have been genetically engineered to produce PHA so that the improved strains produce pHA homopolymers and copolymers directly from diols.
