Thermal and thermo-mechanical degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-based multiphase systems (2008, background): “PHB accumulation by various bacterial strains [3e5] from different biomass substrates [5,6] has been widely described in the literature as well as the recovery process [6,7].”
Value-adding to cellulosic ethanol: lignin polymers. (2011, background): “Blends of lignin butyrate with the slightly more hydrophobic polymer PHBV gave a significant reduction in crystallinity compared to blends with PHB. Meister et al. (1993) have reported that grafting lignin with styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer improves its compatibility with PHB-PHV.”
(Nano)plastics in the environment - Sources, fates and effects. (2016, background): “…been shown that, for some polymers, such as polyethylene (PE), the starch component is utilized, but the remaining lace-like PE fragments persist (Gao, 2012; Reddy et al., 2003), rendering the remaining polymer matrix no more biodegradable than the common, untreated polymer (Lambert et al., 2014).”
Environmental Biotechnology: Achievements, Opportunities and Challenges (2010, background): “…phototrophic Bitton 2005 gliding bacteria filamentous (gramnegative) Beggiatoa Thiothrix oxidize H2S to S0 Droste 1997 Guest and Smith 2002 Reddy et al. 2003 bdellovibrio flagellated (predatory) B. bacteriovorus grow independently on complex organic media Bitton 2005 Saratale et al.…”

Nutrient optimization for production of polyhydroxybutyrate from halotolerant photosynthetic bacteria cultivated under aerobic-dark condition (2008, background): “These polymers are accumulated intracellularly under conditions of nutrient stress and act as a carbon and energy reserve (Steinbüchel, 2001; Reddy et al. 2003).”
Enhanced poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate accumulation in a unicellular cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (2007, background): “Many of these bacterial species when fed with suitable carbon sources can produce the polymer up to 20% of the dry cell weight (dcw) and a few such as Ralstonia eutropha, now called as Wautersia eutropha, is capable of accumulating PHB up to almost 80% of the dcw (Reddy et al. 2003).”
