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