Bioplastics (PHA) production by bacteria
Razzaq, Attia
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are the environment friendly polyesters which are also called as 'Bioplastics'. PHAs are synthesized as intracellular reserve materials for carbon and energy source as a result of excess of carbon and depletion of nitrogen source. Growing concern about environmental pollution has renewed interest in the development of PHAs, which are totally biodegraded by microorganisms present in most environments. Because of thei...
