SalinePHA focuses on enhancing the production of biodegradable plastics called polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) using salt-loving microbial communities in bioreactors. By leveraging stress conditions to boost PHA accumulation, the project aims to lower production costs and promote sustainable waste management.
Plastic waste is a significant global environmental challenge due to its environmental persistence and the threat that microplastic poses on living organism.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biopolymers produced by prokaryotes under availability of excess carbon but unfavorable growth conditions.
Interestingly, certain types of stress conditions have been proven to increase PHA production in axenic cultures such as oxidative stress or osmotic upshock. PHA stands as one of the main alternatives t…
