Original Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are microbial biopolymers and occur as an intracellular granules. PHA are biodegradable biopolymers with similar properties as petrochemical synthetic plastics. PHA production is financially demanding, for reducing the production cost the waste materials are being used as an input material. Cyanobacteria are ecologically extremely important phototrophic gram-negative bacteria capable of oxygenic photosynthesis. Thus cyanobacteria don‘t demand carbon source and for PHA synthesis they need only CO2 and light source. They synthesize many interesting metabolites such as glycogen, carotenoids, but the most interesting metabolites in are PHA. PHA primarily serve together with glycogen as a storage compounds and probably helps cyanobacteria to survive the stress conditions.
