Biodegradation of Polyhydroxybutyrate by Bacterial Strains, Native Extracellular PHB Depolymerases, and Structural Variants
DownloadSpring 2019
Thanks to its biodegradability and biocompatibility, among other properties, the biodegradable polymer polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) has the potential to become an extensively used plastic in the production of a variety of products, from polymer films and everyday objects to specialized devices like...

Zaldivar Carrillo, Jorge Adalberto
The utilization of waste materials to generate value-added products is an appealing prospect that can generate economic and environmental benefits. When the end product of this process is itself environmentally friendly, the benefits escalate. Such is the case of the present work. M....

Synthesis and degradation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) under different nutrient combinations in the alphaproteobacterial methanotroph, Methylocystis sp. Rockwell
DownloadFall 2023
Methane emissions and plastic pollution are two distinct environmental issues that arise from human activities. The ongoing increases in methane emissions and its atmospheric concentration pose a major environmental threat as methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with a warming effect 28 times...
