Sorubin, the leader in ‘new generation’ energy efficient aeration products for water treatment, has cleared another hurdle in its the quest for winning the first edition of Skype founder Niklas Zennström’s Green Mentorship Award.
Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a thermoplastic polyester which occurs naturally in bacteria as Ralstonia eutropha and Bacillus megaterium. Even though PHB is biodegradable and is not dependent on fossil resources, this bioplastic has been traditionally too expensive to produce to replace petroleum-based plastics. New research reported in BioMed Central’s open access journal Microbial Cell Factories describes an alternative method of producing PHB in microalgae.
