Abstract

Study summary

This work combines fermentation experiments and genome analysis to characterize Halomonas sp. HG01 as a robust producer of polyhydroxyalkanoates from multiple carbon sources. The study defines polymer yield, substrate range, and biosynthetic potential for a halophilic strain relevant to scalable biopolymer production.
