Polyhydroxybutyrate photobiological production from biomass with non-sulfur red bacteria

The solution claimed in this patent allows using the mutant bacterial strain of Rhodopseudomonas palustris for photofermentation of plant-based biomass. The reaction of photofermentation allows the production of hydrogen and poly-β-hydroxybutyrate, with consequent energetic valorisation of wastes and reusable, eco-compatible plastic production...other
