Bacterial biopolymer (polyhydroxyalkanoate) production from low‐cost sustainable sources

Twenty‐six different bacterial strains were isolated from samples taken from different locations Dammam, Saudi Arabia, for screening of their polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production capability. The initial screening was conducted by staining with Sudan Black B and Nile Red, followed by examination under fluorescence and electron microscopes to characterize PHA granule formation. The PHA‐producing bacterial isolates were identified using 16S rRNA...
