Jatropha Oil as a Potential Carbon Soruce for PHA Production -- Potenial Applications of PHA -- Summary and Future Outlook. 330 $aThe environmental problems caused by petroleum-based plastic and plastic waste have led to an increasing demand for biobased and biodegradable plastics, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). These polyesters are synthesized from carbon sources, e.g. sugar and plant oils, by various bacteria. This book highlights the potential of plant oils, especially palm oil, as a feedstock for PHA production. In addition, new PHA applications are discussed and the sustainability of PHA production from plant oils is critically examined. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Microbiology,$x2191-5385 606 $aBiodegradable plastics 606 $aPoly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates 615 0$aBiodegradable plastics. 615 0$aPoly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates. 676 $a668.9 700 $aKumar$b Sudesh$01761743 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437845603321 996 $aPolyhydroxyalkanoates from palm oil$94201353 997 $aUNINA
