1. Microbial Synthesis and Characterization of Biodegradable Polyester Copolymers from Burkholderia Cepacia and Cupriavidus Necator Strains Using Crude Glycerol as Substrate
Abstract Polymers are materials of pronounced importance in the modern world, since they are massively present in everyday life, especially in the form of packaging. However, most of these materials are derived from non-renewable sources and their disposal generates large volumes of waste, which is extremely damaging to natural environments. In this context,

2. Avaliação do efeito do agente compatibilizante (PP-g-MA) em misturas PP/Amido termoplástico
RESUMO O crescente desperdício de materiais plásticos no meio ambiente juntamente com a preocupação com a futura escassez do petróleo tem aumentado o interesse por polímeros biodegradáveis, como o amido. Nos últimos anos, o amido tem sido utilizado em misturas com diferentes polímeros sintéticos. Essas misturas têm sido compatibilizadas por meio d

3. ASSESSMENT OF POLYHYDROXYALKANOATE SYNTHESIS IN SUBMERGED CULTIVATION OF Cupriavidus necator AND Burkholderia cepacia STRAINS USING SOYBEAN AS SUBSTRATE
ABSTRACT Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biocompatible and biodegradable polyesters produced by prokaryotic microbes for energy storage and carbon reserve. These polymers are an option to diminish the massive impact caused by inadequate disposal of synthetic plastics. In this study, evaluation and characterization of PHA produced by Cupriavidus necator (IPT

4. Materiales eco-compatibles reforzados a base de almidón de mandioca para aplicaciones agronómicas
ABSTRACT Plastic mulch is used in various crops production in order to increase yield, extend growing season, weed control, increase fertilizers efficiency and improve soil conditions. However, since such plastics removal and disposal represent not only an additional cost, but also a source of environmental pollution, interest in starch-based materials as a

5. Reprocessability of PHB in extrusion: ATR-FTIR, tensile tests and thermal studies
Abstract Mechanical recycling of biodegradable plastics has to be encouraged, since the consumption of energy and raw materials can be reduced towards a sustainable development in plastics materials. In this study, the evolution of thermal and mechanical properties, as well as structural changes of poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) up to three extrusion cycles wer

6. FILMES BIODEGRADÁVEIS DE AMIDO DE MANDIOCA, PULULANA E CELULOSE BACTERIANA
The largest consumption of plastics in the world is referred to the synthetic polymers, which are not biodegradable and have a non-renewable source, generating a large environmental impact, especially in urban centers. As a result, in the last two decades several polymers obtained from renewable sources (biopolymers) have been studied as potential raw materi

7. Extraction and Characterization of Polyhydroxybutyrates (PHB) from Bacillus thuringiensisKSADL127 Isolated from Mangrove Environments of Saudi Arabia
ABSTRACTPolyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a renowned biodegradable plastic that do not release any toxins or residues in the environment like petroleum based plastics. In the present study, 50 bacteria isolated from mangrove niche, Saudi Arabia, were screened for maximum PHB production. All the 50 strains showed positive for PHB production, of which one strain sh

8. Biodegradation of films of low density polyethylene (LDPE), poly(hydroxibutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV), and LDPE/PHBV (70/30) blend with Paecilomyces variotii
The increased consumption of plastics in the world has been a subject of great concern and special attention by the scientific community. The aim is to promote development of materials that are biodegradable in a shorter time upon disposal in the environment. The most used synthetic plastics are difficult to biodegrade because they are made of long hydrocarb

9. EXTRAÇÃO DE POLI(3-HIDROXIBUTIRATO), PRODUZIDO POR Cupriavidus necator, COM CARBONATO DE PROPILENO
The environmental impact of plastic waste has attracted worldwide attention. Amid the current context of increasing concern for the environment, biodegradable plastics have been widely studied as a replacement for synthetic plastics. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) is a biopolymer stored as an intracellular energy and reserve source in many microorganisms.

10. Volatile fatty acids influence on the structure of microbial communities producing PHAs
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) can be produced by microorganisms and are a biodegradable alternative to fossil-fuel based plastics. Currently, the focus is on reducing production costs by exploring alternative substrates for PHAs production, and on producing copolymers which are less brittle than monomers. Accordingly, this study used a substrate consisting of

11. Univariate and multivariate analysis on processing tomato quality under different mulches
The use of eco-friendly mulch materials as alternatives to the standard polyethylene (PE) has become increasingly prevalent worldwide. Consequently, a comparison of mulch materials from different origins is necessary to evaluate their feasibility. Several researchers have compared the effects of mulch materials on each crop variable through univariate analys

12. Mulch materials in processing tomato: a multivariate approach
Mulch materials of different origins have been introduced into the agricultural sector in recent years alternatively to the standard polyethylene due to its environmental impact. This study aimed to evaluate the multivariate response of mulch materials over three consecutive years in a processing tomato (Solanum lycopersicon L.) crop in Central Spain. Two bi
