This project aims to enhance the production of biodegradable plastics known as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) using safe bacterial strains. By optimizing genetic regulation and fermentation processes, it seeks to make bio-based plastics more competitive with conventional plastics derived from fossil fuels.
Plastics are littering our environment, contributing to health problems and it is urgent to find sustainable alternatives.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are natural (not synthetic) and non-toxic polyesters and can be derived from bacterial fermentation.
However, the amount produced is low for the demand, costs for production are high and non-competitive when compared to plastics from crude oil.
Therefore, it is urgent to overcome this limiting factor by increasing the production of biodegradable…
