摘要
A new copolyester of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and 3-hydroxypropionate (3HP) was produced by Alcaligenes eutrophus in a nitrogen-free culture solution of 3-hydroxypropionic acid, 1,5-pentanediol, or 1,7-heptanediol. The copolymer composition varied from 0 to 7 mol% 3HP, depending on the type of carbon substrates supplied. The bacterial copolyesters were characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The copolymers were shown to have a random sequence distribution of 3HB and 3HP units by analysis of the 125-MHz C-13 NMR spectra. The melting temperatures (Tm) decreased from 178-degrees-C to 150-degrees-C as the 3HP fraction increased up to 7 mol%. It has been found that the presence of 3HP units in polyesters accelerates the rate of enzymatic degradation.
