Microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) has developed with more diversity and more advanced manufacturing technology. Diversity has now been reflected by diverse monomers, diverse structures and diverse polymerization modes, giving the concept of "PHAome". In addition, the application of synthetic biology and the development of seawater-based biotechnology reduce the production cost of PHA, making PHA more economically competitive. Some examples of commercialized PHA products are described here. Besides, PHA with high value added applications has been exploited.
微生物聚羟基脂肪酸酯(PHA)在多样性和制造技术方面都有了进一步发展。如今,多样性体现在单体种类多样、结构多样和聚合方式多样上,由此产生了“PHA组”的概念。此外,合成生物学的应用以及海水生物技术的发展降低了PHA的生产成本,使PHA在经济上更具竞争力。本文介绍了一些商业化PHA产品的实例。此外,具有高附加值应用的PHA也已得到开发。
