On the project
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are microbial polyesters that are considered to be an ecological alternative to petrochemical polymers. Techno-economical aspects of biotechnological production of PHA can be substantially improved by employing extremophilic bacteria which bring numerous benefits to the process. In this project, we plan to utilize the unique features of extremophilic cells for the development of a novel “green” and economically feasible procedure for the isolation of the PHA polymers from bacterial biomass of halophilic and thermophilic bacteria.
