Biopolymers production from microalgae and cyanobacteria cultivated in wastewater: Recent advances
Abstract
Plastic materials are used to manufacture a broad variety of items with a short useful lifespan, resulting in significant amounts of waste material generation. This form of waste is often observed floating at sea, and different microplastics have been discovered in fish stomachs and women's placentas. Bioplastics are a more biodegradable substitute for fossil-based polymers. Microalgae are capable of producing poly (hydroxy alkanoate) esters (PHAs), aliphatic polyesters that are biodegradable. The most prevalent and well-characterized biopolymer is the poly (3-hydroxy butyrate) ester (PHB), which belongs to the short-chain PHAs. Under aerobic conditions, PHB compounds degrade fully to carbon dioxide and water. They are ecologically neutral, having thermal and mechanical qualities comparable to those of petrochemical polymers. Numerous microalgae species have been reported in the literature to be capable of making bioplastics under certain conditions (N-P restriction, light exposure, etc.), which may be exploited as a source of energy and carbon. To further ameliorate the environmental impact of microalgae culture for bioplastics production, a limited number of published studies have examined the accumulation of bioplastics, from microalgae grown in wastewater, at a concentration of 5.5-65% of dry biomass weight.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
