Growth conditions have been frequently studied in optimizing polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production, while few studies were performed to unravel the dynamic mixed microbial consortia (MMCs) in the process. In this study, the relationship between growth conditions (C/N ratios and pH) and the corresponding …

Growing volumes of wood are being used in construction, interior architecture, and product design, resulting in increasing amounts of wood waste.
