Due to increased environmental pressures, significant research has focused on finding suitable biodegradable plastics to replace ubiquitous petrochemical-derived polymers. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a class of polymers that can be synthesized by microorganisms and are biodegradable, making them suitable candidates.

Polyhydroxybutyrate As A Biopolymer
This project is about the use of biopolymer (PHB) as an alternative form in place of non-biodegradable plastic, many types of research have been done on this polymer which shows it sharesa similar application as that of conventional plastic and also are biodegradable and biocompatible.

Polyhydroxybutyrate biosynthesis in Caulobacter crescentus: molecular characterization of the polyhydroxybutyrate synthase [PDF]
Caulobacter crescentus was investigated with respect to polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthesis. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) accumulation contributing to approximately 18% of the cell dry weight was obtained in the presence of glucose. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gel permeation chromatography of the purified PHA showed that this polyester ...

Production of polyhydroxybutyrate in sugarcane
SummaryWe report here the production of the bacterial polyester, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), in the crop species sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids). The PHB biosynthesis enzymes of Ralstonia eutropha [β‐ketothiolase (PHAA), acetoacetyl‐reductase (PHAB) and PHB synthase (PHAC)] were expressed in the cytosol or targeted to mitochondria or plastids.
