| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To investigate the conversion of lignin derivatives to bio-polymers containing aromatic monomers, polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-accumulating strains were cultured on mineral salt media containing each of the lignin derivatives and hydroxybenzoic acids, including intermediates derived from the metabolism of lignin derivatives in bacteria. Ralstonia eutropha H16 could synthesize PHA from hydroxybenzoic acids, but aromatic polymers were not produced in this strain. To examine the ability of PHA synthase, I tried in vitro polymerization of aromatic polymers using wild-type PHA synthases and aromatic monomers. However, aromatic polymers were not synthesized in this study.
