Cupriavidus necator is a bacterium with a high phenotypic diversity and versatile metabolic
capabilities. It has been extensively studied as a model hydrogen oxidizer, as well as a …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are microbial polyesters produced by numerous prokaryotes.
These materials are generally considered to be renewable and biodegradable alternatives …

The runaway production and consumption of oil-based plastics are key drivers of global
warming and the increased carbon footprint. Besides, most of this plastic debris ends up in …

Organisms throughout the tree of life accumulate chemical resources, in particular forms or
compartments, to secure their availability for future use. Here we review microbial storage …

The rising plastic pollution deteriorates the environment significantly as these petroleum-
based plastics are not biodegradable, and their production requires natural fuels (energy …

To demonstrate the importance of sample preparation used in Fourier transform infrared
(FTIR) spectroscopy of microbiological materials, bacterial biomass samples with and …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a group of natural polyesters that are synthesised by
microorganisms. In general, their thermoplasticity and (in some forms) their elasticity makes …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are emerging as one of the important alternates to synthetic
plastics. PHAs are immensely known for their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and …

Many bacteria produce storage biopolymers that are mobilized under conditions of
metabolic adaptation, for example, low nutrient availability and cellular stress …

Sažetak When it comes to “bioplastics”, we currently notice an immense complexity of this
topic, and, most of all, a plethora of contradictory legislations, which confuses or even …
