The main goal of the present work was to evaluate the production
of PHA from SCG oil extracted by scCO2. The SFE extraction
process was scaled up and optimal conditions and efficiency of
oil extraction were determined in a pilot plant. A continuous process
for the supercritical extraction of SCG oil was implemented
and the resulting oil was used as feedstock for the production of
PHA by C. necator DSM 428. The final product was purified and
characterized
