Approximately 99% of plastics produced worldwide were produced by the petrochemical
industry in 2019 and it is predicted that plastic consumption may double between 2023 and …

In the present study, depending upon the availability and cheaper cost, different carbon
source were tested for the production of PHAs (Polyhydroxyalkonoates) by soil bacterium …

Plastics play a very important role in our daily life. They are used for various purposes. But
the disposal of these petrochemical-derived plastics causes a risk to the human and marine …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are intracellular carbon and energy storage reserve material
stored by gram-negative bacteria under nutrient limitation. PHAs are best alternative …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates are polyesters of natural origin accumulated in form of intracellular
granules by a wide variety of bacterial strains as candidates for biodegradable polymers …

The amount of chemosynthetic plastic waste increases every year and exact time for its
