PRODUCTION OF POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES BY BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM THE GUT OF THE LARVAE OF AFRICAN PALM WEEVIL (RHYNCHOPHORUS PHOENICIS)

Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates by Bacteria Isolated from the Gut of the Larvae of African Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus phoenicis)

The indispensability of plastics in everyday life has made the search for environmentally sustainable alternatives to these nonbiodegradable polymers more earnest.Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a class of biodegradable, biocompatible plastics comprising of polyesters of R-hydroxyalkanoic acids.They are accumulated intracellularly as polymeric gra
