| Abstract | "Bacterial biopolymers are a competitive new area of research, having potential application in agriculture, petroleum exploration, and use as biodegradable plastics. This new volume provides comprehensive coverage of bacterial biopolymers. The book elucidates on the main classes of bacterial biopolymers-polysaccharides and polyesters or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)-along with their definition, classification, detection, extraction, characterization, fermentation process, structure and properties, their applications and uses, functions, and more"-- Provided by publisher. |
