• Biodegradability of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) and poly(ε-caprolactone) via biological carbon cycles in marine environments (2020, background): “megaterium stores P(3HB), several microbes have been found to synthesize PHA in a variety of environments [62].”
• Environmental friendly food nano-packaging (2017, background): “Polyhydroxybutyrate is produced by microorganisms (such as Ralstonia eutrophus or Bacillus megaterium) (Lenz and Marchessault 2005) and is utilized as an energy storage molecule within the microorganism’s cellular structure.”
• Thermal and thermo-mechanical degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-based multiphase systems (2008, background): “Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), the most common PHA, was first discovered in 1926 by Lemoigne [1,2], but PHAs were really exploited since 1980s and particularly in the last decade considering the decreasing reserves of fossil fuel and the increasing public concern for environmental protection.”
