Comamonas sp. EB172 isolated from digester treating palm oil mill effluent as potential polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) producer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Eleven potential polyhydroxybutyrates (PHB) producers were successfully screened from treated palm oil wastewater using acetate as sole carbon and energy sources and on nitrogen limiting media withNile Blue A dye to screen for PHB accumulation.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Biocompatible Conjugated Electrospinning Nanofibrous Membrane With Self‐Powered Piezoelectric Capacity for Accelerated Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A self‐powered PCL/gelatin‐PVDF‐TrFE/MXene conjugated electrospun membrane integrates biocompatibility with enhanced piezoelectric responsiveness. Mechanical deformation is converted into localized electrical signals that stimulate wound‐repair cells proliferation and migration, promote angiogenesis and tissue remodeling, and accelerate full‐thickness ...

Energy and Greenhouse Gas Profiles of Polyhydroxybutyrates Derived from Corn Grain: A Life Cycle Perspective

open access: yes, 2016
Polyhydroxybutyrates (PHB) are well-known biopolymers derived from sugars or vegetable oils. Cradle-to-gate environmental performance of PHB derived from corn grain is evaluated through life cycle assessment (LCA), particularly nonrenewable energy ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Mixed-Tacticity Polyhydroxybutyrates and Their Association with Iso- and Atactic Chain Segment Length Distributions

open access: yes, 2019
We investigated the effect of including S enantiomers on the mechanical and thermal properties of predominantly (R)-β-polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). From tensile testing, we determined resulting ratios of meso to racemo diads, for which elastic modulus ...

Critical overview of biomass feedstocks as sustainable substrates for the production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)

open access: yes, 2020
Polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs) are a class of biopolymers produced by different microbial species and are biodegradable and biocompatible in nature as opposed to petrochemically derived plastics.

Synthetic Particulate Subunit Vaccines Co‐Delivering Multiple Antigens Induce Protective Immunity Against Melioidosis

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Engineered endotoxin‐free Escherichia coli were used to assemble poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) biopolymer particles displaying multiple conserved Burkholderia pseudomallei antigens via PhaC‐mediated surface presentation. Following formulation with poly(I:C), the particulate vaccines induced antigen‐specific humoral and cellular immune responses ...

Second‐Generation Polyhydroxybutyrate Production From Pretreated Corn Lignocellulosic Fraction as a Strategy to Repurpose by Products From the Corn‐Processing Chain

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic residues are non‐cost, non‐edible, renewable feedstocks that can be used in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production. PHB is a bioplastic synthetized by microorganisms, formed intracellularly under stressful growth conditions; however, its production costs are high, representing the major drawback for fossil‐based plastics ...

Valorization of Textile Waste: Enzymatic Upcycling of Terephthalic Acid Toward a Sustainable PET Value Chain

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the global textile industry, driven by the fast‐fashion paradigm, which is characterized by low‐cost, short‐lived garments made from inexpensive synthetic fibers, has intensified environmental pressures through increased waste generation, resource depletion, microplastic pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions ...
