Engineering Bacillus megaterium for production of functional intracellular materials [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Over the last 10-15 years, a technology has been developed to engineer bacterial polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) inclusions as functionalized beads, for applications such as vaccines, diagnostics and enzyme immobilization. This has been achieved by

Design and Statistical Optimization of PLA Organoclay‐Based Dispersions for Recyclable Packaging Paper

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Through experimental design, polylactic acid (PLA)—organoclay dispersions were optimized to produce biobased coatings that have a high barrier potential while maintaining repulpability, promoting sustainable packaging solutions. ABSTRACT Performance and recyclability of paper coatings depend on precise control of polymer, surfactant, filler ...

Production of Specialized Transformation Vectors for the Production of Biodegradable Plastics in Transgenic Arabidopsis and Oil Palm [PDF]

, 2006
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), such as polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) are bacterial polyesters, which can be used to produce biodegradable products.

A life-cycle assessment of poly-hydroxybutyrate extraction from microbial biomass using dimethylcarbonate [PDF]

, 2016
Poly-hydroxyalkanoates are an example of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers, produced from renewable raw materials. With respect to other bioplastics the market share of poly-hydroxyalkanoates is still limited because of their commercial costs.

Robust Bioconjugated Antigens Induce Immune Responses Preventing Malaria Infection and its Transmission

Small, EarlyView.
Engineered malaria antigens enable in vivo bioconjugation to submicron biopolymer particles in E. coli. Two antigens are co‐tethered at high density and defined stoichiometry. The resulting thermostable particles elicit strong, durable antibody and T‐cell responses, conferring robust protection and blocking mosquito transmission.

Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their

Antibacterial PHAs coating for titanium implants [PDF]

, 2017
Biomaterial-associated infection is a serious complication of modern implantation surgery. Thus, the improvement of implant surfaces is required to avoid the first stage for biofilm formation, bacterial adhesion. The current research addresses this issue

Effects of Carbon‐to‐Nitrogen Ratio in Biofloc System on Water Quality, Growth Performance and Haematological Parameters of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A 10‐week indoor culture trial was carried out to assess the impact of various C/N ratios on the water quality, growth performance and haematology of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a biofloc system. The experiment included four biofloc treatment groups with distinct C/N ratios (12:1, 15:1, 18:1 and 21:1) and a control group with a C/N

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) nanoparticles modulate metals toxicity in Hydra viridissima

Science of The Total Environment
The use of bioplastics (e.g., polyhydroxybutyrate) emerged as a solution to help reduce plastic pollution caused by conventional plastics. Nevertheless, bioplastics share many characteristics with their conventional counterparts, such as degradation to nano-sized particles and the ability to sorb environmental pollutants, like metals.

Isolation and Enhancement of PHB-producing Bacteria from Sewage using Watermelon Rinds

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Plastics contribute significantly to global environmental pollution due to their non-biodegradable nature. Biopolymers like polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), synthesized by microorganisms, offer an eco-friendly alternative.
