A Review on Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates in Microorganisms

Plastic waste is a concern that growing due to its nondegradable nature. Many species of microorganisms naturally produce polyhydroxyalkanoates, macromolecule-polyesters may be used replace conventional plastics. A variety can completely biodegrade PHAs within year, which unlike petroleum-derived plastic takes decades degrade. Carbon dioxide and water are produced during this biodegradation, returned the environment. methods mass-prod
