Excellent- More about The Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates: Microbial Biosynthesis and Feedstocks
The first volume of the Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) focuses on understanding the mechanisms of PHA biosynthesis, exploring diverse feedstocks, and discussing the potential of PHA to replace established plastics on an industrial scale. It is aimed at professionals and graduate students in the polymer industry, wastewater treatment plants, food industry, and biodiesel industry.
Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
The Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA): Microbial Biosynthesis and Feedstocks is a comprehensive resource that delves into the intricate aspects of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) biosynthesis, encompassing feedstock considerations, enzymology, metabolism, and genetic engineering. Its primary objective is to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying PHA synthesis in scientific terms, with the ultimate goal of leveraging this knowledge to improve PHA biosynthesis in bio-technological and microstructural contexts. The book also explores strategies to make PHA competitive with established petroleum-based plastics on an industrial scale, addressing the challenges hindering its market penetration.
This handbook is specifically designed for professionals and graduate students working in the fields of polymer (plastic) industry, wastewater treatment plants, food industry, biodiesel industry, and related disciplines. It provides a comprehensive coverage of the intracellular processes involved in PHA-accumulating bacteria, evaluates diverse feedstocks that can be utilized as carbon sources for PHA production, summarizes recent research findings related to PHA production from various organic by-products, highlights the key elements for understanding and manipulating the microstructure and sequence-controlled molecular architecture of PHA co-polyesters, and discusses the potential of using CO-rich syngas, derived from various organic waste materials, for PHA biosynthesis.
By presenting a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of PHA biosynthesis, this handbook serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and practitioners seeking to advance the development and utilization of PHA-based materials. Its multidisciplinary approach and extensive coverage make it an essential tool for those involved in exploring the potential of renewable and sustainable plastics and fuels.
