Despite being used as a common platform for the commercial production of many biochemicals, Bacilli are often overlooked source industrial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), biodegradable plastic replacements. In addition to having robust expression system, lack lipopolysaccharides and ease lysis make an attractive host PHAs. this work, Bacillus megaterium strain was engineered generate poly(3-hydro...

Glycerol (G), polyglycerols (PGs), glycerol triacetate (GTA), and tributyrate (GTB) were studied as additives of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). The effect different concentrations (5–30%) these compounds on microstructure final properties PHB films evaluated. Microscopic studies revealed that samples with GTA GTB presented uniform microstructure, meanwhile those containing G PGs evidenced exuda...
