Soybean Molasses as a Feedstock for Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) Production by Mixed Microbial Cultures: Effects of the Organic Loading Rate
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are fully biodegradable polyesters synthesized by microorganisms from renewable carbon sources, including agro-industrial residues. Soy molasses, a carbohydrate-rich by-product of soybean processing, can be fermented to produce organic acids suitable for PHA production. The established proce...
