Accumulation of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Helps Bacterial Cells to Survive Freezing.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Accumulation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) seems to be a common metabolic strategy adopted by many bacteria to cope with cold environments. This work aimed at evaluating and understanding the cryoprotective effect of PHB.

Measuring Temporal Variations of Nucleotide Pools in Microbial Granular Biofilm

Helvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 109, Issue 10, October 2026.
The developed metabolomics workflow enables quantification of energy nucleotides in complex microbial biofilms. The method provides a foundation for investigating rapid metabolic responses to dynamic environmental conditions. ABSTRACT Microbial communities often face environmental fluctuations that occur on timescales much shorter than their growth ...

Novel processing of polyhydroxybutyrate with micro- to nanofibrillated cellulose and effect of fiber morphology on crystallization behaviour of composites

eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2020
In this work, the intrinsic drawbacks of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) such as slow crystallization rate, secondary crystallization and brittle nature were improved by blending with bio-based fillers, i.e. nanofibrillated/microfibrillated cellulose (NFC/MFC).

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

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.

Manipulation of Polyhydroxybutyrate Properties through Blending with Ethyl-Cellulose for a Composite Biomaterial

International Journal of Polymer Science, 2011
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is widely used as a biomaterial in medical and tissue-engineering applications, a relatively high crystallinity limits its application. Blending PHB with ethyl-cellulose (EtC) was readily achieved to reduce PHB crystallinity and

Toward Plastic‐Free Vineyards: The Role of Bioplastics in Sustainable Viticulture—A Review

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural value chains consume more than 12.5 Mt. of plastics annually, and vineyard systems are a notable source of short‐lived plastic waste. In viticulture, conventional plastics improve agricultural efficiency, crop protection, and wine quality, but their widespread use raises environmental and health concerns.

Thermo-mechanical characterization of PHB/PCL blend incorporated with carbon nanotubes

eXPRESS Polymer Letters
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a polymer with great application potential; however, its brittleness and low mechanical strength restrict its use in many fields. This study investigated a strategy to overcome the mechanical limitations of PHB by blending it
