𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 that some bacteria can help produce bio-based polymers?
One of the core outputs of SOWISE+ is PHBV, a member of the PHA family of polymers. PHAs are produced through biological processes and can be used as building blocks for bio-based materials.

[SOWISEPLUS🇪🇺 @sowiseplus]

SOWISE+ Glossary | What is PHA?
PHA stands for Polyhydroxyalkanoates.
PHAs are a family of bio-based polymers that can be produced by microorganisms under specific conditions.
