Computer simulated fed-batch cultivation for over production of PHB: A comparison of simultaneous and alternate feeding of carbon and nitrogen
TLDR
Model-basedfed-batch operation was very helpful for over producing PHB by R. eutropha and the increase in PHB productivity in fed-batch cultivation was almost 2.6 times as compared to batch.About:

A review on production of poly β hydroxybutyrates from cyanobacteria for the production of bio plastics
TL;DR: A review of the promising importance and growing awareness of using cyanobacteria as PHB resource are reported in this paper, where various cyanobacterial species accumulate intracellular poly-β-hydroxybutyrate granules as energy and carbon reserves inside their cells when they are in stress conditions.

Design and analysis of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate production processes from crude glycerol
TL;DR: In this paper, a techno-economic analysis for poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) production from crude glycerol is presented, which is carried out in two stages in which mass cell growth and PHB accumulation occurs, respectively.

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.

Bacterial and other biological systems for polyester production
TL;DR: Poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) and other structurally related aliphatic polyesters from bacteria, referred to as polyhydroxyalkanoic acids, form biodegradable thermoplastics and elastomers that are currently in use, or being considered for use, in industry, medicine, pharmacy and agriculture.

Production of poly-(beta-hydroxybutyric-co-beta-hydroxyvaleric) acids.
TL;DR: Poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates containing a higher percentage of HV were produced when pentanoic acid replaced propionic acid, and the HV composition in P(HB-co-HV) was controlled by regulating the concentration of propionic Acid in the feed.
