Bacillus cereus is a gram-positive bacterium belonging to the Bacillus genus. It is
widespread in several ecological niches and has interesting genetic and metabolic …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are bacterial polyesters that have been described as one of
the most promising sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. A major challenge …

Aims: A new strain of Bacillus, Bacillus cereus SPV, was found to be capable of using a wide
range of carbon sources for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Limiting …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) represent natural, renewable, biocompatible and fully
degradable biopolymers that consist of hydroxyalkanoic acid monomers. These are …

The microbially derived polyhydroxyalkanoates biopolymers could impact the global climate
scenario by replacing the conventional non-degradable, petrochemical-based polymer. The …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are reserve materials produced by various prokaryotic
microorganisms. Biologically, PHA primarily provides microbial cells with advantages to …

Plastics are widely used for various applications. Once discarded, it is commonly known that
they represent a high environmental threat due to their slow degradation; for this reason …

Diverse Bacillus strains are known as producers of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) under
nutrient-limiting conditions. However, these limiting conditions have the same nutritional …

Downstream processing for recovery of microbial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolyesters
from biomass constitutes an integral part of the entire PHA production chain; beside the …

Sustainable production of microbial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolyesters on a larger
scale has to consider the “four magic e”: economic, ethical, environmental, and engineering …
