Improved biosynthesis and recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoates from Comamonas sp. EB172

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a potential biodegradable polymer which can be used to replace a petrochemical synthetic polymer. PHA is synthesised when bacteria are exposed to a surplus of carbon and limited nitrogen. Under these con- ditions, cells are unable to grow but they do accumulate c...
