PHB and PHA by vksgkp is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable polyesters produced by microorganisms, with over 150 different monomers leading to diverse properties. They can be thermoplastic or elastomeric and are used in bioplastics, with production methods involving fermentation of sugars or lipids. Notably, polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs) are a common type of PHA, discovered in 1925, and have been industrially produced since the 1980s.
