Abstract
In modern decades, an increase in environmental awareness has attracted the keen interest of researchers to investigate eco-sustainable, recyclable materials to minimize reliance on petroleum-based polymeric compounds. Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) is amorphous, linear, and biodegradable bacterial polyesters that belong to the polyhydroxyalkanoates family with enormous applications in many fields. The present review provides comprehensive information on polyhydroxybutyrate production from different biomass feedstock. Various studies on PHB production by genetically engineered bacterial cells and optimization of parameters have been discussed. Recent technological innovation in processing polyhydroxybutyrate-based biocomposite through the different process has also been examined. Besides this, the potential applications of the derived competent biocomposites in the other fields have been depicted.
