Polyhydroxyalkanoate production from food waste : feeding strategy and fermentation scale- up for biodegradable plastics
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable microbial polyesters with strong potential as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-derived plastics. Oil-derived substrates, including free fatty acids, triglycerides, and waste cooking oil (WCO), are attractive feedstocks due to their high degree of reduction and favorab...
