Patent ID: 8076120

Claim:
An isolated transformed cell comprising: a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 9, encoding an E1 activator of an enzyme having lactyl-CoA dehydratase activity; a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 17, encoding an E2 α subunit of an enzyme having lactyl-CoA dehydratase activity; a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 25, encoding an E2 β subunit of an enzyme having lactyl-CoA dehydratase activity; a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 40, encoding an enzyme having 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA dehydratase activity; and a nucleic acid molecule encoding an enzyme having poly hydroxyacid synthase activity.
