Designing PLA/PHBV Implants With Degradation Matched to Normal or Inflammatory Tissues

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.
PLA/PHBV blends are investigated under simulated normal and pathological conditions. Multivariate statistical analysis decouples the competing effects of water‐uptake‐driven hydrolysis and crystallinity‐imposed barriers. Melt‐state rheological parameters serve as structural probes linking phase morphology to degradation kinetics. A semi‐empirical model

Resource acquisition and allocation traits in symbiotic rhizobia with implications for life-history outside of legume hosts [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Resources that microbial symbionts obtain from hosts may enhance fitness during free-living stages when resources are comparatively scarce. For rhizobia in legume root nodules, diverting resources from nitrogen fixation to polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) has ...

Polyhydroxyalkanoate as Next Generation Bioplastics for Sustainability and Circular Energy Management

EcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Circular system converting wastewater sludge (WWS) into PHA bioplastics via acidification and MMC biosynthesis. System highlights LCA framework, showing GWP trade‐offs against fossil plastics and costs of $3–5/kg PHA, ultimately achieving lower carbon footprints and resource recovery for a sustainable bioeconomy.

Pro-ecological packaging materials based on polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Polymers are common used in everyday life. For economic reasons and specific properties, they replace traditional materials such as glass, wood or paper. The use of polymeric materials generates waste, whose disposal is difficult. Legislation and pressures on the use of pro-ecological materials have increased interest in biodegradable polymers.

Optimization of the phototrophic Cyanobacteria polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production by kinetic model simulation

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
Cyanobacteria can grow using inorganic substrates, such as CO2 from industrial sources and nutrients from wastewaters, and therefore are promising microorganisms to produce polyhydroxybutyrate in a cleaner circular context. However, this biotechnological production is highly challenging because it involves different interlinked reactions that are ...

Influence of reprocessing on monopolymer blends of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)

Polymer Testing
This work addresses the mechanical recycling of the biobased and biodegradable polymer Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by investigating different properties at each stage from once extruded (E) PHB blended with virgin (V) material in two ratios (E20V80 and E80V20) and further extruded five times (E5).

Source‐Independent Enrichment of Light Lanthanides: Microbial Mobilization, Selective Uptake, and Intracellular Storage

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Only light lanthanides facilitate lanthanide‐dependent methylotrophy. In Beijerinckiaceae bacterium RH AL1, light lanthanides are enriched from diverse sources, including poorly soluble minerals, through a multilayered process involving mobilisation, selective uptake, and intracellular periplasmic storage.
