Environmental distribution of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production in the domain Archaea
Acta Scientiarum: Biological SciencesPolyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polyesters synthesised by prokaryotes as a carbon and energy storage strategy. Due to their properties and versatility, these biopolymers are a potential alternative to conventional low-caliber plastics.

Screening of polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing bacteria and PhaC-encoding genes in two hypersaline microbial mats from Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur, Mexico [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Hypersaline microbial mats develop through seasonal and diel fluctuations, as well as under several physicochemical variables. Hence, resident microorganisms commonly employ strategies such as the synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in order to ...
