Abstract
Biobased biodegradable polymers (BBP) derived from different renewable resources are commonly considered as attractive alternative to petroleum-based polymers, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc. It is because they can address the issues of serious environmental problems resulted from accumulation of plastic wastes. In the review current methods of obtaining of most abundant BBP, polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), have been studied with an emphasis on the toxicity of compounds used for their production and additives improving consumer characteristics of PLA and PHB based market products. Substantial part of additives was the same used for traditional polymers. Analysis of the data on the response of different organisms and plants on exposure to these materials and their degradation products confirmed the doubts about real safety of BBP. Studies of safer additives are scarce and are of vital importance. Meanwhile, technologies of recycling of traditional petroleum-based polymers were shown to be well-developed, which cannot be said about PLA or PHB based polymers, and their blends with petroleum-based polymers. Therefore, development of more environmentally friendly components and sustainable technologies of production are necessary before following market expansion of biobased biodegradable products.

Curr Opin Biotechnol 2024; 88:103167. [PMID: 38901110 DOI: 10.1016/j.copbio.2024.103167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Microbes that use the single-carbon substrates methanol and methane offer great promise to bioindustry along with substantial environmental benefits. Methanotrophs and other methylotrophs can be engineered and optimized to produce a wide range of products, from biopolymers to biofuels and beyond. While significant limitations remain, including delivery of single-carbon feedstock to bioreactors, efficient growth, and scale-up, these challenges are being addressed and notable improvements have been rapid. Development of expression chassis, use of genome-scale and regulatory models based on omics data, improvements in bioreactor design and operation, and development of green product recovery schemes are enabling the rapid development of single-carbon bioconversion in the industrial space.

Production of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) nanoparticles using grape residues as the sole carbon source. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129649. [PMID: 38266847 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
The production of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) on an industrial scale remains a major challenge due to its higher production cost compared to petroleum-based plastics. As a result, it is necessary to develop efficient fermentative processes using low-cost substrates and identify high-value-added applications where biodegradability and biocompatibility properties are of fundamental importance. In this study, grape residues, mainly grape skins, were used as the sole carbon source in Azotobacter vinelandii OP cultures for PHB production and subsequent nanoparticle synthesis based on the extracted polymer. The grape residue pretreatment showed a high rate of conversion into reducing sugars (fructose and glucose), achieving up to 43.3 % w w-1 without the use of acid or external heat. The cultures were grown in shake flasks, obtaining a biomass concentration of 2.9 g L-1 and a PHB accumulation of up to 37.7 % w w-1. PHB was characterized using techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The formation of emulsified PHB nanoparticles showed high stability, with a particle size between 210 and 240 nm and a zeta potential between -12 and - 15 mV over 72 h. Owing to these properties, the produced PHB nanoparticles hold significant potential for applications in drug delivery.

Crustacean-inspired chitin-based flexible buffer layer with a helical cross-linked network for bamboo fiber/poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) biocomposites. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129248.

Abstract
Marine biological resources, serving as a renewable and sustainable reservoir, holds significant import for the utilization of composite material. Hence, we produced bamboo fiber/poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (BF/PHB) biocomposites with exceptional performance and economic viability, drawing inspiration from the resilience of crustacean shells. Polyaminoethyl modified chitin (PAECT) was synthesized using the alkali freeze-thaw method and introduced into the interface between BF and PHB to improve interfacial adhesion. The resulting chitin fibers, characterized by their intertwined helical chains, constructed a flexible mesh structure on the BF surface through an electrostatic self-assembly approach. The interwoven PAECT filaments infiltrated the dual-phase structure, acting as a promoter of interfacial compatibility, while the flexible chitin network provided a greater capacity for deformation accommodation. Consequently, both impact and tensile strength of the BF/PHB composites were notably enhanced. Additionally, this flexible layer ameliorated the thermal stability and crystalline properties of the composites. This investigation aimed to leverage the distinctive helical configuration of chitin to facilitate the advancement of bio-reinforced composites.

Abstract
The conventional production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) from waste biomass requires a pretreatment step (acid or alkali) for reducing sugar extraction, followed by bacterial fermentation. This study aims to find a greener approach for PHA production from brown seaweed. Saccharophagus degradans can be a promising bacterium for simultaneous reducing sugar and PHA production, bypassing the need for a pretreatment step. Cell retention cultures of S. degradans in membrane bioreactor resulted in approximately 4- and 3-fold higher PHA concentrations than batch cultures using glucose and seaweed as carbon sources, respectively. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance results revealed identical peaks for the resulting PHA and standard poly(3-hydroxybutyrate). The developed one step process using cell retention culture of S. degradans could be a beneficial process for scalable and sustainable PHA production.

Effect of ferulic acid derivative concentration on the release kinetics, antioxidant capacity, and thermal behaviour of different polymeric films. Food Chem 2023; 410:135395.

Abstract
Ferulic acid displays poor thermal resistance during extrusion and compression moulding, slow 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) reaction kinetics, and undetected release from polylactide (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)-based films into polar media. Thus, in this study, a ferulic acid derivative Bis-O-dihydroferuloyl-1,4-butanediol (BDF) was used as an active additive (up to 40 w%) in PLA, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) matrices to produce blends by extrusion. These blends were then used to prepare films by solvent casting. The BDF displayed good stability with 86-93% retention. The release kinetics in Food Simulant A revealed higher BDF release amounts (1.16-3.2%) for PHA-based films as compared to PLA. The BDF displayed faster DPPH reaction kinetics as compared to ferulic acid. The PHA-based films containing BDF displayed > 80% of DPPH inhibition. The growth of crystals inside polymer matrix had a nucleation effect which reduced the glass transition temperature of the films.
