PHA granules help bacterial cells to preserve cell integrity when exposed to sudden osmotic imbalances.

New Biotechnology, 2019
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are microbial polyesters which accumulate as intracellular granules in numerous prokaryotes and mainly serve as storage materials; beyond this primary function, PHA also enhance the robustness of bacteria against various ...

Production and characterization of biodegradable films of a novel polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesized from peanut oil

Food Packaging and Shelf Life, 2019
Peanut oil was used as a carbon source for the production of films of a novel polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) intended for applications as biodegradable packaging for the food industry. Cupriavidus necator was used in a two-stage production system.
