Abstract

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a family of polyesters synthesized and intracellularly accumulated as distinct granules in many microorganisms. PHAs are promising materials to substitute the petroleum-based plastics currently in use. In article 1907138, Sang Yup Lee and co-workers provide a comprehensive overview of PHAs, including their biosynthesis, overall production process, and applications.
