Original Abstract

Application of approaches of evolutionary engineering could be used to obtain microorganisms producing PHAs with required properties. Method is useful, quite simple and effective for gaining microbial strains with suitable characteristics on phenotype level (e.g. more effective growth, better productivity, ability of utilization different sources of carbon etc.) with no requirement for knowledge of genetic characteristics of original wild-type strain. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are microbial polymers which could replace traditional petrochemical plastics due to their favorable properties such as biodegradability and biocompatibility. Moreover, properties of PHAs depend on monomer composition, therefore materials for selected purpose could be produced, e.g. by application of evolutionary engineering tools od PHAs producing microorganisms. Considering evolutionary engineering, PHA can take a role in adaptation process due to generally enhanced robustness of PHA accumulating bacterial cells against stress.
