Finding of Novel Galactose Utilizing Halomonas sp. YK44 for Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Production

Polymers, 2022
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable bioplastic with potential applications as an alternative to petroleum-based plastics. However, efficient PHB production remains difficult. The main cost of PHB production is attributed to carbon sources; hence,

The Optimization Conditions of Polyhydroxybutyrate Methyl Ester from Polyhydroxybutyrate via Acid-Catalyst

Energy Procedia, 2017
Abstract Recently, microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) were proposed as an alternative biofuel, termed 3-hydroxyalkanoate methyl ester (3HAME). PHA is a strong candidate to make biofuels and be used in the fuel additive market today. However, an optimization study of 3HAME from PHA has never been reported.
