Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are the wonder polymers which are of biological origin with several application potential. Microbes involved in PHA accumulation are found in all types of environments from fresh water, saline and extreme environments. They have adapted various strategies to survive in various environments. These PHAs are accumulated as carbon reserves in the bacterial cells in the presence of excess carbon source. These potential PHAs have a wide range of applications which makes them attractive to the eyes of the researchers. The review focuses on the type of media, fermentation conditions and recovery methods adapted by several researchers to produce PHAs.
