Abstract

Fermented wastes have been demonstrated to be adequate sources for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production using mixed microbial cultures (MMC). In general, MMC processes are focused on the production of co-polymers containing 3-hydroxybutyrate (HB) and 3-hydroxyvalerate (HV), which limits the range ...
