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 $aMicrobiology 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aPolymers   606 $aMicrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004 606 $aApplied Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12010 606 $aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U33000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aPolymer Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aPolymers  . 615 14$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aApplied Microbiology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aPolymer Sciences. 676 $a668.9 700 $aSudesh$b Kumar$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065522 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437845603321 996 $aPolyhydroxyalkanoates from Palm Oil: Biodegradable Plastics$92546221 997 $aUNINA
