The authors acknowledge all collaborators and members (both past and present) of the Polymer Chemistry Laboratory of RIKEN Institute for contributions to the research and development of this interesting microbial polyester. 

As work proceeded at Los Alamos and elsewhere in America, Allied intelligence agencies had been following the atomic weapons projects underway in both Germany and Japan. In Japan the project was headed by Yoshio Nishina, who had studied under nuclear physicist Niels Bohr in Denmark and had set up the Riken Institute for Physical and Chemical Research in the Japanese capital of Tokyo. Nishina built two cyclotrons at the Riken Institute. Another key scientist was Ryokichi Sagane, who had studied under Emeset O. Lawrence at the University of California at Berkeley.

Studies related to the mechanisms of nitric oxide reactions with transition metal complexes in this laboratory were supported by grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation, by a Collaborative UC/Los Alamos National Laboratory Research grant, by a grant from the U.S. Japan Cooperative Research Program (Photoconversion/ Photosynthesis) (NSF INT 9116346), and by a grant from the ACS Petroleum Research Fund. We thank the students and postdoctoral fellows at UC Santa Barbara who participated in this research and acknowledge collaborative studies with Dr. David Wink (National Cancer Institute, Bethesda MD, USA), Dr. Mikio Hoshino (RIKEN, Wako-shi, Japan) and Dr. Jon Schoonover (Los Alamos National Laboratory).
