PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a PHA synthase useful in the production technique of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a gene encoding the enzyme, a recombinant vector containing the gene, and a vector transformed with the vector. The present invention provides a transformant, a method for producing a PHA synthase using the transformant, and a method for producing PHA using the transformant. SOLUTION: Pseudomonas putida P91 strain (Ps eudomonas putida P91), the transformant obtained by introducing the PHA synthase gene into a host microorganism is cultured to produce PHA synthase or PHA. |
