Synthesis of PHB by recombinant E. coli harboring an approximately 5 kb genomic DNA fragment from Streptomyces aureofaciens NRRL 2209.

An approximately 5.0 kb Sau3A I genomic DNA fragment from Streptomyces aureofaciens NRRL 2209 was cloned in a plasmid vector and introduced into Escherichia coli. The recombinant E.
