Abstract excerpt
Ecological deterioration and human health concerns arising from the usage of non-biodegradable plastics have prompted mankind to search for greener alternatives which are biodegradable, biocompatible and easily produced from renewable sources. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), among other biopolymers, are emerging as a viable replacement for fossil fuel-based synthetic plastics. A PHA-producing strain, identified as Cu...
