Calculated gravimetrically on microbial biomass weight basis (wt%) and expressed as mean ± standard deviation of four independent replicates of each extraction
condition.
b Evaluated by TGA mass loss intensity.
c Calculated as PHA extraction yieldPHA purity
PHA amount in microbial cells .
d Maximum decomposition temperature evaluated by TGA.
e Mean molecular weight determined by SEC.
f Polydispersity index determined by SEC.
