Biobased polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) membranes: Structure/performances relationship
Separation and Purification Technology, 2020 Abstract Within the current increasing environmental restrictions, biopolymers tend to replace common materials in many applications, from daily life items to process engineering facilities. Synthetic filtration membranes are also of concern. Herein, biopolymer based microfiltration (MF) membranes were produced with a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), the ...

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Granules Have no Phospholipids. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractPolyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) granules, also designated as carbonosomes, are supra-molecular complexes in prokaryotes consisting of a PHB polymer core and a surface layer of structural and functional proteins. The presence of suspected phospholipids in the surface layer is based on in vitro data of isolated PHB granules and is often shown in ...
