Procedure: 4-Hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxypropionate-lactate terpolymer was prepared according to the method of example 2 except that the collected cells was anaerobically cultured for 3 days in MR medium further containing 2 g/L of 4-hydroxybutyrate (4-HB), 2 g/L of 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP), 100 mg/L of ampicillin and 30 mg/L of chloramphenicol instead of MR medium further containing g/L of 4-HB, 100 mg/L of ampicillin and 30 mg/L of chloramphenicol. —As a result of the analysis, methyl-4-hydroxybutyrate, methyl-3-hydroxypropionate and methyl-lactate were detected in E. coli Top10/pPs619C1300-CPPCT/pMCSPtbBuk transformant, which meant that new 4-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxypropionate-lactate terpolymer [poly(4-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxypropionate-co-lactate)] was prepared by the recombinant E. Coli. 1H-NMR and GC-MSD results of the obtained 4-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxypropionate-lactate terpolymer were shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, respectively.

Procedure: 25 g. Methyl 4-hydroxybutanoate were mixed with 47.5 g. toluene-sulphonyl chloride and 250 ml. dry pyridine at 5° C. and kept at this temperature for 17 hours, whereafter the reaction mixture was poured into 2 liters ice water. The oil thus formed was extracted with diethyl ether and the ethereal extract was washed with 500 ml. 6 N hydrochloric acid to remove excess pyridine, followed by washing with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate until neutral. Concentration of the organic layer gave 32.5 g. of a yellow oil which was dissolved in diethyl ether, treated with decolorising charcoal, filtered and the filtrate concentrated to give 30.5 g. of a pale yellow oil which slowly crystallised at 5° C. Thin layer chromatography (petroleum ether/dichloromethane/acetone 6:3:1 v/v/v) showed the product to be pure. The methyl 4-(p-toluene-sulphonyl)-butanoate thus obtained had a melting point of 23° C. The oil thus formed was extracted with diethyl ether the ethereal extract was washed with 500 ml 6 N hydrochloric acid to remove excess pyridine by washing with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate until neutral Concentration of the organic layer gave 32.5 g filtered the filtrate concentrated to give 30.5 g of a pale yellow oil which slowly crystallised at 5° C
