Examples of Polyhydroxyalkanoates in the following topics:
-
- Polyhydroxyalkanoates or PHAs are linear polyesters produced in nature by bacterial fermentation of sugar or lipids.
- Polyhydroxyalkanoates, or PHAs, are linear polyesters produced in nature by bacterial fermentation of sugar or lipids.
- Recombinants Bacillus subtilis str. pBE2C1 and Bacillus subtilis str. pBE2C1AB were used in production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and it was shown that they could use malt waste as carbon source for lower cost of PHA production.
-
- The two natural polyesters that are finding increasing use as replacements for petroleum based plastics are polylactide (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), the latter most commonly as copolymers with polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB).
- PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) are synthesized by microorganisms such as Alcaligenes eutrophus, grown in a suitable medium and fed appropriate nutrients so that it multiplies rapidly.
-
- For example, many bacteria store excess carbon in the form of polyhydroxyalkanoates or glycogen.
