A critical review on biopolymer production from waste streams
In February 2021 the third DEEP PURPLE publication “Up-scale challenges on biopolymer production from waste streams by Purple Phototrophic Bacteria mixed cultures: A critical review” was published in the Elsevier Journal “Bioresource Technology” Volume 327.
The highlights are:
The production of biopolymers by purple phototrophic bacteria is reviewed.
- Understanding the underlying metabolic mechanisms for process optimization as a key.
- Special focus on polyhydroxyalkanoates and polyphosphate accumulation.
- Challenges for photobioreactors upscaling are critically defined.
