  • PROCESS TO PRODUCE POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES FROM SEAWEED
    Publication number: 20240384310
    Abstract: A process is described for producing polyhydroxyalkanoates from macroalgae, the process comprising the steps of: forming a macroalgal mixture from macroalgae and a liquid; hydrolysing the macroalgae mixture to form a macroalgal hydrolysate; producing a growth medium comprising the macroalgal hydrolysate; fermenting the growth medium using halophilic microbes capable of producing polyhydroxyalkanoates; and extracting the polyhydroxyalkanoates from within the halophilic cells using a water-based, osmosis-driven lysis process.
