The metabolism of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and related polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)
has been investigated by many groups for about three decades, and good progress was …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are diverse biopolyesters produced by numerous
microorganisms and have attracted much attention as a substitute for petroleum-based …

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass results in the formation of byproducts (furfural,
hydroxymethylfurfural [HMF], vanillin, acetate etc.), which affect microbial growth and …

Background A representative hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium Cupriavidus necator H16 has
attracted much attention as hosts to recycle carbon dioxide (CO2) into a biodegradable …

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 …

Thermophilic production of polyhydroxyalkanoate is considered a very promising way to
overcome the problems that may arise when using mesophilic strains. This study reports the …

Non-photosynthetic routes for biological fixation of carbon dioxide into valuable industrial
chemical precursors and fuels are moving from concept to reality. The development of …

Every year, the amount of chemosynthetic plastic accumulating in the environment is
increasing, and significant time is required for decomposition. Bio-based, biodegradable …

Abstract Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) is a common carbon-and energy-storage compound
simultaneously produced and degraded into its monomer 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) by …

With global CO 2 emissions at their highest in several years, mitigation and possibly
reduction of greenhouse gas buildup and concomitant production of renewable fuel …
