Strain	Culture	3-MB concn (mM)	CDW (g · liter−1)	Amt of PHA (% of CDW)	Monomer composition (mol%)a
					C6	C8	C10
E. coli 193MC1b	Fed batch fermentation	0.25	3.48	11	13	66	21
		1.00	3.55	12	14	66	20
P. oleovorans POMC1c	Continuous fermentation	0.00	1.50	43	10	89	<1

^aMonomer compositions are expressed as molar percentages. C₆, 3-hydroxyhexanoate; C₈, 3-hydroxyoctanoate; C₁₀, 3-hydroxydecanoate. 

^bPolymers produced by E. coli 193MC1 were isolated from the culture described in the legend to Fig. 3. 

^cPolymers produced by P. oleovorans POMC1 were isolated from the continuous culture (Table 2). 

^dRelative monomer composition of PHA lab stock produced by wild-type P. oleovorans GPo1. Each value is the average of values from three different assays.
