Recovering PHA from mixed microbial biomass: Using non-ionic surfactants as a pretreatment step

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biodegradable plastics of microbial origin, whose biodegradability and thermochemical properties make them greener alternatives to conventional plastics. Despite their high industrial potential, the PHA’ high production costs still hinder their application. Mixed micr...
