【 摘 要 】

Over the past two decades, the use of synthetic plastics has soared throughout the capitalist economy. Frequently, polymers that have been used as raw materials are returned to the environment in a severely degraded state before being hastily discarded. Researchers are becoming increasingly concerned about the potentially harmful effects of synthetic polymers and the products made with them. As a direct result, both the scientific community's interest in developing technical solutions to this issue and the general public's awareness of the importance of waste reduction have increased. Under a variety of environmental conditions, microorganisms, or a subset of them, can produce chemically unrelated substances known as "biomaterials." A significant subcategory of biomaterials is bioplastics. PHAs, also known as polyhydroxyalkanoates, are biodegradable substances that act as carbon and energy reservoirs in a variety of microorganisms. These materials are also referred to as "bioplastics. They have a wide range of applications in a variety of industries, including tissue engineering, bio-implant patches, drug delivery, surgery, and wound dressing, and are considered an antiticing alternative to petroleum-derived plastics.This review examined the most recent scientific publications on the isolation of bioplastic-producing bacteria from various geographic regions, the production of bioplastic from inexpensive carbon sources, and the most important production-related factors.In addition, the primary applications of these biopolymers in the field of biotechnology were considered.
