Study the Reaction Mechanism of The Production of Novel Biopolymer [Poly (3-Hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)] from the Palm Oil Seed

Poly(3-hyroxybutyrate) (PHB), is a biodegradable plastic that recognized as a potential alternative to substitute conventional petrochemical-based plastic. This biodegradable plastic is derived from bacterial fermentation using various carbon sources. Since the cost of carbon substrates has been ide...
