Polyhydroxybutyrate: An intriguing biopolymer
Bioscience Reports, 1988 The microbial polymer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and related poly-hydroxyalkanoates, such as poly-3-hydroxyvalerate and poly-3-hydroxyoctanoate, are unique biodegradable thermoplastics of considerable commercial importance. The structure, properties and regulation of synthesis and degradation of PHB are reviewed and the microbial production of ...

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.
