Overusing non-degradable plastics causes a series of environmental issues, inferring a
switch to biodegradable plastics. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are promising …

Plastic pollution is a severe threat to our environment which necessitates implementation of
bioplastics to realize sustainable development for a green world. Polyhydroxyalkanoates …

Abstract Although poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV) is the most
promising biopolymer for petroleum-based plastics replacement, the low processes …

Abstract Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) has gain in recent years a huge interest in the food
packaging field due to its renewable origin from waste as well as non-food crops, high …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are microbial biopolyesters utilized as “green plastics”. Their
production under controlled conditions resorts to bioreactors operated in different modes …

Abstract Background In Europe, almost 87.6 million tonnes of food waste are produced.
Despite the high biological value of food waste, traditional management solutions do not …

Microbial-derived bioplastics are receiving more attention and are a potential option for
ecological sustainability. Lignocellulosic biomass is the ultimate resource for the production …

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulating Bacillus megaterium was isolated from marine
water. To increase the PHB productivity by Bacillus megaterium, steps were taken to …

Microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are encouraging biodegradable polymers, which
