This book presents a general overview of PHAs from the biosynthesis, fermentation, industrial production, extraction, purification and application. This book consists of four sections including 21 original chapters, which together provide a comprehensive introduction to the subject, and the detail information for the biosynthesis, industrial production, and medical application of PHAs. This book is written to be accessible to a wide readership, especially for beginners who have just started PHA related research.
