Abstract:22Bioplastics produced from microbial source are promising green alternatives to 23 traditional petrochemical-derived plastics. Nonnatural straight-chain amino acids, 24 especially 5-aminovalerate, 6-aminocaproate and 7-aminoheptanoate are potential 25 monomers for the synthesis of polymeric bioplastics as their primary amine and 26 carboxylic acid are ideal functional groups for polymerization. Previous pathways for 27 5-aminovalerate and 6-aminocaproate biosynthesis in microorganisms are derived from 28 L-ly… Show more
