文摘Establishment of the regeneratable whole-cell catalyst platform for the production ofbiobased polymeric materials is a typical topic of synthetic biology. In this commentary, discovery story of a ＂lactate-polymerizing enzyme＂ （LPE） and LPE-based achievements for creating a new variety of polyesters with incorporated unnatural monomers are presented. Besides the importance of microbial platform itself is discussed referring to the ＂ballooning＂-Escherichia coli.
