摘要: Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are produced by a large number of microbes under stress conditions such as high carbon (C) availability and limitations nutrients nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, oxygen. Here, store C granules PHAs—energy reservoir. PHAs have properties, which quite similar to those synthetic plastics. The unique make them desirable materials for biomedical applications is their biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity. been found suitable various medical applications: biocontrol agents, drug carriers, biodegradable implants, tissue engineering, memory enhancers, anticancer agents.
