Environmental challenges related to the mismanagement of plastic waste became even
more evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for new solutions regarding the use …

In this work, the potential of Methylocystis hirsuta to simultaneously use methane and
volatile fatty acids mixtures for triggering PHBV accumulation was assessed for the first time …

The production cost of biodegradable polymer like polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is still higher
than that of petroleum-based plastics. A potential solution for reducing its production cost is …

Microalgae have emerged as a promising and sustainable source for
polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), which are increasingly recognized for their potential in …

Petrochemical-based plastics are hardly biodegradable and a major cause of environmental
pollution, and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is attracting attention as an alternative due to its …

Macroalgae (seaweed) is considered a favorable feedstock for polyhydroxyalkanoates
(PHAs) production owing to its high productivity, low land and freshwater requirement, and …

As environmental pollution intensifies, the interest in bioplastics is growing. The bioplastic
polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), which are produced and degraded by microorganisms …

As a carbon substrate, propionate can be used to synthesize poly (3-hydroxybutyrateco-3-
hydroxyvalerate)[PHBV] biopolymer, but high concentrations can inhibit PHBV production …

With the continuous growth of the demand for eco-friendly alternatives to petroleum-based
