Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are hydroxyalkanoates (HAs) polyesters synthesized by many bacteria as intracellular carbon and / or energy reserve components. Among the various PHA, the best known is poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB), a homopolymer with thermoplastic properties, biodegradable and biocompatible. The PHA mobilization process consists in the intracellular degradation of previously …
