This second volume of the "Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA):
Kinetics, Bioengineering and Industrial Aspects" focusses on
thermodynamic and mathematical considerations of PHA biosynthesis,
bioengineering aspects regarding bioreactor design and downstream
processing for PHA recovery from microbial biomass. It covers
microbial mixed culture processes and includes a strong
industry-focused section with chapters on the economics of PHA
production, industrial-scale PHA production from sucrose, next
generation industrial biotechnology approaches for PHA production
based on novel robust production strains, and holistic techno-economic
and sustainability considerations on PHA manufacturing. Aimed at
professionals and graduate students in Polymer (plastic) industry,
wastewater treatment plants, food industry, biodiesel industry, this
book Provides an insight into microbial thermodynamics to reveal the
central domain governing in PHA formation, both aerobically and
anaerobically. Includes systematic overview of mathematical modelling
approaches, starting from low-structured and formal kinetic models
until modern tools like metabolic models, cybernetic models and so
forth Discusses challenges during scale up of PHA production processes
and on development of non-sterile processes and
contamination-resistant strains Presents a holistic picture of the
current state of PHA research by mixed cultures Reviews the
industry-related point of view about current and future trends in PHA
production and processing
