Genes responsible for the synthesis of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) in Azotobacter sp. FA8 were cloned, sequenced and molecularly analyzed. A PHB synthase (phbC) mutant was obtained by gene inactivation and used for genetic studies. The polymers produced by recombinants of Azotobacter sp. FA8 containing the genes coding for medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) synthases were analysed. The phbC gene from this strain was introduced in Ralstonia eutropha PHB-4 (phbC minus mutant) and the polymer produced from different carbon sources was analysed.
