## Abstract A strain of __Escherichia coli__ was metabolically engineered to produce poly(3βhydroxybutyrateβ__co__β3βhydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) of specified composition between 5% and 18% HV. A gene encoding propionylβCoA synthetase (__prpE__ from __S. enterica__) was placed under the control of the I
