Summary:

In recent years, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), the only family of biopolyesters completely synthesized by biological means, received increasing attention because of their attractive properties and wide applications. PHAs and their related academic and industrial chains have affected our daily lives in fermentation, materials, feeds, energy as well as in the medical fields. It is very important to understand all aspects related to the PHAs their processes in this valuable field. This book presents a general overview of PHAs from the biosynthesis, fermentation, industrial production, extraction,
