• Isolation and recovery of microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (2011, background): “Subsequently, NADPH-dependent acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (PhaB) catalyzes the reduction of acetoacetyl-CoA to the (R)-isomer of 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA which is then polymerized into P(3HB) by the PHA synthase (PhaC) [3].”
• Microbial Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs): Efficient Replacement of Synthetic Polymers (2020, background): “Depending upon the monomeric properties these polyesters exhibit a range of properties starting from crystallinity like plastics and elasticity of rubbers [17].”
• Sustainability of Biobased and Biodegradable Plastics (2008, background): “that set PHAs apart from conventional plastics is their complete biodegradability in the natural environment [15, 16].”
