Microalgal media engineering for optimization of bioplastic (PHB) yield

The escalating global plastic pollution crisis has intensified the demand for bio-based, biodegradable alternatives, such as polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). Among various sources, microalgae-derived PHB has emerged as a promising and sustainable biomaterial. This study investigated PHB production in Scen...
