Purple non sulfur bacteria (PNSB), metabolically versatile group can grow as photoheterotrophs, photoautotrophs or chemoheterotrophs and has attracted scientists for their biotechnological potentials. They are capable of producing intracellular carbon storage compounds, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Poly (3- hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] and copolymers of other hydroxyalkanoic acids produced by wide variety of bacteria including the PNSB have received attention as ecofriendly thermoplastics. The book is a comprehensive account of enrichment and isolation of PNSB from aquatic...
