Abstract

Biodegradable plastics are the best “environmentally friendly” alternatives to petrochemical-based synthetic plastics for environmental sustainability and long-term development. Since it impacts the entire globe and all living beings, plastic pollution is a threat to climate change, but none more so than our food chain, which is drastically influenced by (micro) plastics being absorbed by marine organisms, endangering humanity’s well-being. The synthesis of bioplastic Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) by microorganisms is an alternative for this issue. Large-scale PHA production currently relies on discontinuous fed-batch culture in bioreactors
