Production of Tailor-Made Biopolyester Nanoparticles and Potential Applications

Production of Tailor-Made Biopolyester Nanoparticles and Potential Applications 

Extensive studies in the molecular biology and physiology of the bacterial biopolyester synthesis has been made in the last decade. Previous research activities were mainly aimed at the biotechnological production of the extracted and semicrystalline thermoplastic polyester materials. Recently, however, it has been recognized that the intracellular polyester inclusions or those derived from in vitro synthesis can be considered as natural bionanoparticles. 

These spherical nano- and sub-micro-particles are now being explored with respect to their commercial potential. Bionanoparticles can be conceived
