As the bacteria
grew, PHB was found to accumulate inside them.
Researchers ruptured the bacterial cells using an alkaline
solution and extracted the PHB. A Maximum PHB of 4.3
grams per litre was obtained from the bacteria cultured
using the products of enzymatic breakdown of water
hyacinth powder. ―PHB can have potential applications in a
wide variety of fields such as industrial, biomedical,
agricultural, domestic, and automobile.
