Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Biopolyesters - Emerging and Major Products of Industrial Biotechnology

Abstract Background: Industrial Biotechnology (“White Biotechnology”) is the large-scale production of materials and chemicals using renewable raw along with biocatalysts like enzymes derived from microorganisms or by themselves (“whole cell biocatalysis”). While ethanol has existed for several millennia can be considered a product Biotechnology, application complex engineered to produce industrial scale products acceptable economics only few decades old. Bioethanol as fuel, lactic acid food PolyHydroxyAlkanoates (PHA) processible material are some examples Biotechnology. Purpose Scope: sector biotechnology that holds most promise in reducing our dependence on fossil fuels mitigating environmental degradation caused pollution, since all made today carbon feedstocks could manufactured – biocatalysts. To match fossil-based bulk products, Biotechnology-based processes must sufficiently robust. This aspect continues evolve increased technological capabilities engineer (including microorganisms) decreasing relative price difference between feedstocks. there have been major successes manufacturing challenges exist, although its real. Here, PHA biopolymers class fulfilling this promise. Summary Conclusion: The authors illustrate benefits circularity sustainability such processes, role supply chain issues, alleviating societal problems poverty hunger. With increasing awareness among general public policy makers dangers posed climate change, pollution persistent solving these poised transformative upswing manufacture
