Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) initially received serious attention as a possible substitute for petrochemical-based plastics because of the anticipated shortage in the supply of petroleum. Since then, PHA has remained as an interesting material to both the academia and indusby. Now, we know more about this microbial storage polyester and have developed efficient fermentation systems for the large-scale production of PHA. Besides sugars, plant oils will become one of the important feedstock for the industrial-scale production of PHA. In addition, PHA will find new apphcations in various areas. This chapter summarizes the future prospects and the importance of developing a sustainable production system for PHA. [Pg.101]
