Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase (PhaRCYB4) from Bacillus cereus YB-4 is a useful enzyme that produces PHA with various molecular weights depending on the host. The PhaRCYB4 mutant with an amino acid replacement of alanine at position 77 with serine in the PhaCYB4 subunit, which synthesized lower molecular-weight PHA, exhibited 2-fold higher polymerization activity than that of the wild-type enzyme.
