The influence of essential growth nutrients on PHA production from waste

Volatile fatty acids (VFA) may serve as building blocks for Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production and can be derived from waste streams. Ideal streams for PHA production contain a high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) to nutrient ratio, such as (waste)water from a paper-mill factory or candy-bar factory. The (waste)water generated by these...
