Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing an aliphatic polyester containing 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) as a monomer unit by utilizing the biosynthetic function of microorganisms. A group of microbial-produced polyesters represented by poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), unlike synthetic polymers derived from petroleum, have the property of being easily decomposed in the body of microorganisms and higher animals including humans. It has (biodegradability). In recent years, enormous amounts of synthetic polymers have been used in various fields such as plastics,
It has become a serious problem that used plastic accumulates as bulky waste that does not rot and pollutes the natural environment. Since the polyester is biodegraded and taken into the natural material cycle, it can be used as a plastic that enables environmental protection. Further, in the medical field, it can be used as an implant material and a drug carrier that are not required to be recovered.

る。The 3HB-containing polyester produced by the present invention is a 3HB homopolymer (PHB) or 3HB and 3HB.
It is a copolymer with HV (P (HB / HV)). It has been found that which polyester is produced depends on the molecular structure of the carbon source used. For example, when the strain is cultured only with a compound in a group consisting of a long-chain fatty acid having an even number of carbon atoms and its derivative as a carbon source to induce the growth of bacterial cells and the accumulation of polyester, PHB or P (HB / H
V) is generated. On the other hand, P (HB / HV) is produced when the bacterial cells are similarly cultured with only one group of compounds consisting of a long-chain fatty acid having an odd number of carbon atoms and its derivative as a carbon source. In addition, P (HB / HV) is also produced when the compounds in each of the above groups having an even carbon number and an odd carbon number are used in combination. The type of polyester produced depends not only on the essential carbon source used, as described above, but also on the additional carbon source utilized for polyester production. That is, when the compound in the above-mentioned group 1 having an even carbon number is used as an essential carbon source and at least one kind of the compound group represented by the above chemical formula 1 is used in combination as an additional carbon source, P (HB / HV) To generate.

In the present invention, both culture methods should be used according to the purpose. You can Among them, in the one-stage culture method, at least one selected from the group of compounds consisting of long-chain fatty acids and their derivatives is used as a carbon source for culturing to cause microbial cell growth and polyester accumulation. At this time, an additional carbon source may be used to promote the growth of bacterial cells and / or control the properties of the produced polyester. In the other two-stage culturing method, the first stage (previous stage) causes the cells to grow exclusively or mainly, and the recovered bacterial cells are added to the second stage (second stage) medium and cultivated again. Causes the accumulation of polyester exclusively or predominantly. Therefore, the carbon source used in the two-stage culture is a carbon source advantageous for bacterial growth in the former stage, and in the latter stage, at least one selected from the group consisting of long-chain fatty acids and their derivatives alone or added. Used with a typical carbon source. Two
In the latter stage of the step culture, it is advantageous to culture at least one of the essential nutrient sources, for example, nitrogen source and phosphorus source, in a reduced amount or completely removed in order to suppress bacterial growth and promote polyester production.

In the one-stage culture, after this, the bacterial cell treatment for polyester separation is performed as it is. For example, the collected bacterial cells are washed with distilled water and then freeze-dried to obtain dried bacterial cells. Next, the polyester is extracted from the bacterial cells with a good solvent such as chloroform under heating, concentrated, and then reprecipitated with a poor solvent such as methanol or hexane to obtain the polyester. In the case of two-stage culture, the collected bacterial cells are put into the latter-stage medium and the culture is performed again.
