Hey guys I have my first HSC assessment task for chemistry and I have to find out "specific enzyme(s) or organism used to synthesise the biopolymer" (PHB)
Really struggling to find any information, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hey I did an assignment on Biopol, which is a copolymer of PHB and PHV, not sure if it will help but if you have any other questions just ask.

◦A culture of microorganisms, such as Alcalingenes eutrophus, is placed in a suitable medium and fed appropriate nutrients so that it multiplies rapidly and grows into a large quantity.
