Production of Biodegradable Co-Polymers from Biodiesel Glycerol and Levulinic Acid
This technology presents an innovative microbial fermentation process to produce biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) using biodiesel-derived glycerol as a cost-effective carbon source.
Background:
Traditional plastics pose significant environmental challenges due to their persistence and non-biodegradability. There has been increasing demand...
