Fermentative Production of Poly(β-L-malic Acid) from Renewable Feedstocks: Process Advances and Bamboo Shoot Shell Hydrolysate as an Emerging Case Study

Poly(β-L-malic acid) (PMLA) is a water-soluble, biodegradable aliphatic polyester whose pendant carboxyl groups support chemical functionalization for biomedical, packaging, and materials applications. Microbial fermentation can use pure sugars and biomass-derived carbon sources under mild conditions, but industrial tr...
