Insight into polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production from xylose and extracellular PHA degradation by a thermophilic Schlegelella thermodepolymerans
Researchers found that a heat-loving bacterium called Schlegelella thermodepolymerans can convert xylose — a sugar from plant biomass — into up to 80% of its body weight as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a biodegradable plastic alternative, and can also break down PHA it encounters in the environment.
A bibliometric landscape of polyhydroxyalkanoates production from low-cost substrates by Cupriavidus necator and its perspectives for the Latin American bioeconomy
This bibliometric analysis examined research on polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymer production by the model bacterium Cupriavidus necator using low-cost substrates, reviewing the field's relevance to the Latin American bioeconomy. Cupriavidus necator can accumulate PHAs up to 90% of dry cell weight, making it a key organism for developing biodegradable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics.
Sugar Beet Molasses as a Potential C-Substrate for PHA Production by Cupriavidus necator
Sugar beet molasses hydrolysates were evaluated as low-cost carbon substrates for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) bioplastic production by the bacterium Cupriavidus necator, finding that the strain could efficiently convert molasses sugars into PHA at competitive yields. The study supports agricultural byproduct streams as economically viable feedstocks for scaling up microbially produced biodegradable plastics.
Production and characterization of polyhydroxyalkanoates by Halomonas alkaliantarctica utilizing dairy waste as feedstock
Researchers found that a salt-tolerant Antarctic bacterium called Halomonas alkaliantarctica can convert cheese whey — a dairy industry waste product — into polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a biodegradable plastic alternative, producing up to 0.42 g/L without any additional nutrients, offering a dual benefit of waste valorization and sustainable bioplastic production.
Properties of Degradable Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Synthesized by a New Strain, Cupriavidus necator IBP/SFU-1, from Various Carbon Sources
Researchers characterized a new Cupriavidus necator strain capable of producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) under both autotrophic and organotrophic conditions from diverse carbon sources including sugars, glycerol, fatty acids, and plant oils. The carbon source strongly influenced PHA composition and properties, with oleic acid and fructose yielding the highest polymer contents of over 78-80%.
