Enzymatic and microbial routes to bioplastics: The green chemistry frontier of biopolymers
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 709-726, April 2026.Microbial biosynthesis and engineered enzyme platforms are expanding the design space of polyhydroxyalkanoate bioplastics. By combining fermentation, PHA synthase engineering and cell‐free modular systems, tailored biodegradable polymers can be produced with tunable properties, supporting more sustainable materials and future circular bioeconomy ...
