Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces the biosurfactant rhamnolipid, which has several potential biotechnological applications. The synthesis of this surfactant is catalyzed by rhamnosyltransferase 1, composed of the proteins RhlA and RhlB. Here we report that RhlA plays a role not only in surfactant synthesis, but also in the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates, polymers that can be used for the synthesis of biodegradable plastics.
