Jatropha Oil as a Potential Carbon Soruce for PHA Production -- Potenial Applications of PHA -- Summary and Future Outlook.The environmental problems caused by petroleum-based plastic and plastic waste have led to an increasing demand for biobased and biodegradable plastics, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). These polyesters are synthesized from carbon sources, e.g. sugar and plant oils, by various bacteria. This book highlights the potential of plant oils, especially palm oil, as a feedstock for PHA production. In addition, new PHA applications are discussed and the sustainability of PHA production from plant oils is critically examined.SpringerBriefs in Microbiology,2191-5385MicrobiologyEnvironmental engineeringBiotechnologySustainable developmentPolymers  Microbiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004Applied Microbiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12010Environmental Engineering/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U33000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Polymer Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008Microbiology.Environmental engineering.Biotechnology.Sustainable development.Polymers  .Microbiology.Applied Microbiology.Environmental Engineering/Biotechnology.Sustainable Development.Polymer Sciences.668.9Sudesh Kumarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1065522BOOK9910437845603321Polyhydroxyalkanoates from Palm Oil: Biodegradable Plastics2546221UNINA
