Abstract

Correction for ‘Direct carbon capture for the production of high-performance biodegradable plastics by cyanobacterial cell factories’ by Chunlin Tan et al., Green Chem., 2022, https://doi.org/10.1039/d1gc04188f.


The authors regret that an incorrect structural formula for the PLA homopolymer was given in Fig. 4D of the original article. The corrected version of Fig. 4 is shown below.

Fig. 4 The characteristics of the PLA homopolymer accumulated inside engineered S. elongatus PCC7942. (A) The transmission electron micrographs of the intracellular PLA homopolymer: Top left panel, the wild type of S. elongatus PCC7942 cells. The right and bottom left panels, cells of S. elongatus PCC7942 harboring the PLA biosynthesis pathway. (B) and (C) The 1H, 13C NMR spectra of PLA homopolymer produced by engineered S. elongatus PCC7942. (D) The chemical structure of the PLA homopolymer. (E) The 1H–1H COSY NMR spectrum of the PLA homopolymer.
