| Abstract | Increasing human population demands more usage of consumable items thus causes more destruction to the environment by developing advanced materials and technologies. Synthetic plastic is one of the most used material in daily life which results in accumulation of non-degradable waste material that stays in the environment for thousands of years and creates plastic pollution. Many species on the earth suffer from pollution caused by plastic and it is one of the leading causes of global warming. For sustainable development, we need to protect our environment from plastic pollution by making use of biodegradable materials. In the past few years, biodegradable materials with plastic like properties have gained much attention. They have been made from biomass such as sugarcane, corn, wheat, rice, banana peels, etc. Such desirable properties are also present in PHAs (polyhydroxyalkanoates) synthesized by microorganisms. Several types of PHAs have been discovered from bacteria and used as a bioplastic candidate. However, there are major challenges also such as high production cost and expensive raw material which limits its commercial applications. Modern tools and strategies have allowed precise metabolic engineering of various microorganisms to produce PHAs using highly efficient microbial cell factories. This review article focuses on the research done on the microbial bioplastic production and its various applications. We have also discussed the future perspectives of bioplastic for sustainable development. |
