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

An overview of the main polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) recovery methods is here reported,
by considering the kind of PHA-producing bacteria (single bacterial strains or mixed …

The global pollution caused by plastics and microplastics is stimulating intense research
towards more environmentally friendly materials, preserving the remarkable application …

Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) has been investigated for more than eighty
years but recently a number of factors including increase in the price of crude oil and public …

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

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have recently been the focus of attention as a biodegradable
and biocompatible substitute for conventional non degradable plastics. The cost of large …

The deleterious environmental impacts caused by plastic wastes have attracted worldwide
concern. The biobased and biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) appears to be one …

The isolation and the purification of bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoates are the key step of the
process profitability in the fermentation system. That is why many scientists have studied this …

The recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from biomass, that is, from bacterial cells, is
one of the major obstacles in the industrial production of these polyesters. Since PHAs are …

The transition toward “green” alternatives to petroleum-based plastics is driven by the need
for “drop-in” replacement materials able to combine characteristics of existing plastics with …
