Production of polyhydroxybutyrate or PHB
Transfer of genes for acetoacetyl CoA reductase (phbB) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthase (phbC), which catalyze two steps in the production of polyhydroxybutyrate or PHB (a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer) is another example 6f molecular farming. These genes were successfully transferred and their expression was demonstrated in transgenic plants of Arabidopsis thaliana.
