TL;DR: In this paper, a literature review revealed that microplastic characteristics, chemical interactions, and water properties played a role in the sorption and bioaccumulation of pollutants by micro-plastic.

TL;DR: In this paper, degradation trends of selected polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) films in a tropical mangrove environment were investigated along with P(3HB) films containing 38-wt% titanium dioxide (TiO2) [P(3 HB) −38-wt % TiO2] for 8 weeks at three different zones in an intermediate MANG compartment along Sungai Pinang, adjacent to a famous fishing village on south of Penang Island.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated the suitability of palm kernel oil as the main carbon source and both sodium propionate and sodium valerate as 3HV-precursors for the synthesis of novel compositions of P(3HB- co-3HV - co -3HHx) terpolymers with interesting properties.

TL;DR: With proper management practices and efficient milling processes, it may be possible to supply enough palm oil-based raw materials for human consumption and other biotechnological applications such as production of PHA in a sustainable manner.

TL;DR: PhaC Cs is a naturally occurring, highly active PHA synthase with superior polymerizing ability and its polymerization of 3-hydroxybutyryl-coenzyme A activity was nearly 8-fold higher than that of the synthase from the model strain C. necator.
