The Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) focusses on and
addresses varying facets of PHA biosynthesis and processing, spread
across three volumes. The first volume discusses feedstock aspects,
enzymology, metabolism and genetic engineering of PHA biosynthesis.
It addresses better understanding the mechanisms of PHA
biosynthesis in scientific terms and profiting from this
understanding in order to enhance PHA biosynthesis in
bio-technological terms and in terms of PHA microstructure. It
further discusses making PHA competitive for outperforming
established petrol-based plastics on industrial scale and obstacles
for market penetration of PHA. This second volume focusses on
thermodynamic and mathematical considerations of PHA biosynthesis,
bioengineering aspects regarding bioreactor design and downstream
processing for PHA recovery from microbial biomass. It covers
microbial mixed culture processes and includes a strong
industry-focused section with chapters on the economics of PHA
production, industrial-scale PHA production from sucrose, next
generation industrial biotechnology approaches for PHA production
based on novel robust production strains, and holistic
techno-economic and sustainability considerations on PHA
manufacturing. Third volume is on the production of functionalized
PHA bio-polyesters, the post-synthetic modification of PHA,
processing and additive manufacturing of PHA, development and
properties of PHA-based (bio)composites and blends, the market
potential of PHA and follow-up materials, different bulk- and niche
applications of PHA, and the fate and use of spent PHA items.
Divided into fourteen chapters, it describes functionalized PHA and
PHA modification, processing and their application including
degradation of spent PHA-based products and fate of these
bio-polyesters during compositing and other disposal strategies.
Aimed at professionals and graduate students in Polymer (plastic)
industry, wastewater treatment plants, food industry, biodiesel
industry, this set: Presents comprehensive and holistic
consideration of these microbial bioplastics in the volumes.
Enables reader to learn about microbiological, enzymatic, genetic,
synthetic biology, and metabolic aspects of PHA biosynthesis based
on the latest scientific discoveries. Discusses design and operate
a PHA production plant. Strong focus on post-synthetic
modification, preparation of functional PHA and follow-up products,
and PHA processing. Covers all related engineering considerations
