Application of a non-halogenated solvent, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) for recovery of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [P(HB-co-HV)] from bacterial cells

Conventional solvent-based methods are still the most practical approaches for recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) polymer from cellular biomass, even though potential alternatives exist, including chemical, mechanical, and enzymatic methods. It is still necessary, however, to avoid dangerous and...
