Growth of Burkholderia sacchari LFM 101 cultivated in glucose, sucrose and glycerol at different temperatures

Scientia Agricola
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have attracted major industrial interest as alternatives to conventional plastics. They are produced by several bacteria as cytoplasmic inclusions when nutrients are in limited supply.

The molecular level characterization of biodegradable polymers originated from polyethylene using non-oxygenated polyethylene wax as a carbon source for polyhydroxyalkanoate production [PDF]

, 2017
There is an increasing demand for bio-based polymers that are developed from recycled materials. The production of biodegradable polymers can include bio-technological (utilizing microorganisms or enzymes) or chemical synthesis procedures.

Recent Advances in the Use of Polyhydroyalkanoates in Biomedicine

Bioengineering, 2019
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), a family of natural biopolyesters, are widely used in many applications, especially in biomedicine. Since they are produced by a variety of microorganisms, they possess special properties that synthetic polyesters do not ...

Degradation of Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA): a Review

Journal of Siberian Federal University. Biology, 2017
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is an attractive material due to its mechanical properties and biodegradability. As a result of its ability to degrade naturally in the environment, utilization of PHA is a step closer towards a greener environment with the aim of reducing the dependency on the non-degradable synthetic plastic.

Conversion of no/low value waste frying oils into biodiesel and polyhydroxyalkanoates [PDF]

, 2019
A sustainable bioprocess was developed for the valorization of a no/low value substrate, i.e. waste frying oils (WFOs) with high content of free fatty acids (FFAs), otherwise unsuitable for biodiesel production.

Engineering of Biological Systems for the Synthesis of Tailor-made Polyhydroxyalkanoates, a Class of Versatile Polymers

CHIMIA, 2001
Medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs) are bacterial polyesters which are produced in nature by certain Pseudomonas strains. These biopolymers are of interest because of their chirality, biodegradability and elastomeric property ...
