Harnessing <i>Haloferax mediterranei</i> for Bioplastic Production from Organic Waste
… VFAs produced from arrested anaerobic digestion (aAD) were also tested, showing that H. mediterranei can efficiently convert unpurified VFAs into PHBV when dilution was applied to reduce inhibitory compounds. Incorporation of microbial electrolysis cells in aAD further enabled the control of VFA …
