Abstract

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA's) are biodegradable and biocompatible plastics synthesized by a wide variety of microorganisms, which share similar characteristics with petrochemical plastics. The most recent studies focus on the pursuit of economic substrates and extraction strategies that allow reducing product costs and thus, can make inroads in a market widely disseminated where petrochemical plastics dominate. The aim of this review is to show the polyhydroxyalkanoates production as a resource and tool first hand and have great potential for use in applications ranging from the manufacture of disposable products commonly used to biomedical and pharmaceutical products high added value.
