Talk:Polyhydroxyalkanoates

Expansion of the article

I would like to expand the article on polyhydroxyalkanoates and divide it into several sections such as history, properties, applications, production, functionalized PHAs,... Discussion and/or collaboration would be appreciated. Philipp Höfer 20:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, that sounds good. I'm doing my masters on this subject and I will be adding some info when I get the time aswell.

Alright. I will start working on this soon. Philipp Höfer 14:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Replaced undefined acronym "PP" with polypropylene. That's a guess, an expert should confirm. Doug Ridgway

I added a blurb about both feast-famine cycles and mixed-microbial cultures, however would really like to add more in detail, with proper citations. Help is welcome NiccNacc 11 Aug 2022 — Preceding undated comment added 18:46, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Wording

What the hell do these sentences mean?

"A few bacteria, including Aeromonas hydrophila and Thiococcus pfennigii, synthesize copolyester, from the above two types of hydroxy fatty acids or at least possess enzymes that are part of this building are capable of.

Another even large scale synthesis can be done with the help of soil organisms. For lack of nitrogen and phosphorus they produce from three kilograms of sugar a kilogram of PHA." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.169.132.181 (talk) 23:00, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
