| Abstract | The weight average molecular weight of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) synthesized by Alcaligenes sp. SH-69 was altered between 3.2 × 10^5 and 1.1 × 10^6 depending upon various culture conditions. It appeared that culture conditions favorable for the efficient production of copolyesters promoted the formation of higher molecular weight copolyesters. Polydispersity indices of isolated copolyesters were in the range of 1.5 to 2.5. |
