3-Hydroxypropionic acid is a three carbon non-chiral compound used as a building block to derive many important industrial chemicals. Studies indicate that 3-Hydroxypropionic acid can be synthesized from glycerol using the recombinant Escherichia coli SH254, which expresses glycerol dehydratase (DhaB) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (AldH). Structurally, the carboxyl group and the beta hydroxyl group make 3-Hydroxypropionic acid very reactive. 3-Hydroxypropionic acid is a novel substrate in the production of polymers because this compound produces biodegradable polymers, which can replace existing polymers currently used in industry. Biologically, 3-Hydroxypropionic acid may be used to produce surgical biocomposite material and drug release material.
