Antitumor bioactivity and gut microbiota modulation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) in a rat animal model for colorectal cancer.
TL;DR: In this article , a non-polysaccharide antitumor prebiotic, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), has been tested in an animal model for colorectal cancer, and it has been able to reduce the number of polyps by 48,1%, and the tumoral extension area by 58,1%.

Fabricated polyhydroxyalkanoates blend scaffolds enhance cell viability and cell proliferation.
TL;DR: In this paper , a mixture of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly( 3-hydroxbutryl-co-3hydroxyvalerate) (phBV) was used to create new potential porous, biodegradable scaffolds using salt leaching technique.

Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and reactivity of water at biomaterial surfaces
TL;DR: It is found that solvent properties of water within the interphase separating a solid surface from bulk water solution vary with contacting surface chemistry, and this interphase can extend tens of nanometers from a water-contacting surface due to a propagation of differences in self association between vicinal water and bulk-phase water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoic acids
TL;DR: An overview of the diversity of biosynthetic polyhydroxyalkanoic acids and the importance of bacterial anabolism and catabolism, which provide the coenzyme A thioesters of the respective hydroxyalkanoing acids as substrates to these PHA synthases, is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystallization and morphology of a bacterial thermoplastic: poly-3-hydroxybutyrate
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of interesting results on the physical properties of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) were presented on crystallization kinetics, morphology of melt-and solution-crystallized PHB, the variation of lamellar thickness with crystallization temperature, and the assessment of some thermodynamic quantities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence, synthesis and medical application of bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoate.
TL;DR: It was found that PHA producing bacteria are able to grow simultaneously limited by carbon and nitrogen substrates, and it became possible to produce PHA at high yields on toxic substrate and also control its composition accurately (tailor-made synthesis).
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates
TL;DR: It is hoped that with improvement in fermentation and downstream processing techniques, development of new recombinant strains and large-scale production by transgenic plants will reduce the cost of production of PHAs thereby making them competitive with conventional plastics.
