Publisher Correction: Engineered polyketide synthases enable a microbial chassis for recyclable plastics with tunable properties

In the corrected version of the Nature Biotechnology article published on July 27, 2026, two labels in Figure 4a were mistakenly written as "b-PDK 3" and "b-TK 3" instead of the accurate "b-PDK 3′" and "b-TK 3′". In Figure 4b, the x-axis label "4" should have been "3′". Additionally, in the bottom-right panel of Figure 4c, the labels "b-PDK 3" and "b-TK 3" should have been corrected to "b-PDK 3′" and "b-TK 3′".

These changes have been implemented in the HTML and PDF versions of the article. The article discusses an engineered microbial chassis for producing recyclable plastics with adjustable properties, developed by a team of researchers from various institutions, including FutureBio, Inc., The Dow Chemical Company, Durham University, Jiangsu University, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Amazon.com, Inc., the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, BRIGHT, Technical University of Denmark, and the University of California, Berkeley.
