The gene encoding a 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA transferase has been isolated from bacteria and integrated into the genome of bacteria also expressing a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase, to yield an improved production process for 4HB-containing polyhydroxyalkanoates using transgenic organisms, including both bacteria and plants. In response to receiving the request, the technique can include identifying text portions in the web-based application, transmitting the text portions to a server, wherein receipt of the text portions causes the server to match the text portions to entries in a database associated with the server to obtain UI strings, and receiving the UI strings from the server. Depending on the slot in which a card containing such a serial channel switch circuit is inserted in the modular packet switch, its serial channel switch circuit may receive a different set of reconfigurable table values that are specific to that location.
