Scaling up of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) production from oil palm frond juice by Cupriavidus necator (CCUG52238T)

It has been reported that oil palm frond juice (OPF) can be used as the sole renewable, alternative and cheap carbon source for the production of poly(3- hydroxybutyrate), P(3HB) at lab scale study. In order to further investigate the potential of OPF juice for P(3HB) production at larger scale, we...
