“…PHA, polyoxoesters of hydroxyalkanoates, are typical prokaryotic reserve materials; they are produced as intracellular products of the secondary metabolism of various Gram-negative or Gram-positive bacteria and several extremophilic Archaea. Here, a currently emerging trend is the isolation of novel halophilic microbial species of marine origin, which often display powerful PHA producers based on the conversion of inexpensive substrates [3][4][5][6]. Stored in the cell's cytoplasm, spherical in shape and light-refractive, PHA granules consist of an hydrophobic core of coiled PHA chains and water acting as plasticizer; this core is covered by more hydrophilic enzymes and structural proteins, which, as not yet definitively clarified, may form a protein membrane.…”

“…Because PHAs are by nature biodegradable, can be produced from renewable bioresources, and have material properties close to the conventional petroleum-derived plastics, the commercial production and market development are actively pursued by several companies amid the growing plastic waste crisis [ 14 15 ]. Vibrio are perhaps the first to be known as producers of PHAs among marine microbes [ 16 ], and are isolated predominantly for the screening of the PHA production [ 17 ]. Intriguingly, aquatic farmed animals fed with poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) showed a reduced mortality compared to those not fed when being exposed to pathogenic Vibrio species, suggesting the application of PHAs as a biocontrol agent [ 18 ].…”

Vibrio are perhaps the first to be known as producers of PHAs among marine microbes [16], and still be isolated predominantly in the screening of PHA productivity [17]. Intriguingly, aquatic farmed animals feeded with poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) showed reduced mortality than those not feeded upon challenge by pathogenic Vibrio species, suggesting the application of PHAs as a biocontrol agent [18].…”
