The kinetics of medium-chain-length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates), PHAMCL production by Pseudomonas putida PGA1 in batch and fed-batch fermentations were studied. With saponified palm kernel oil (SPKO) supplying the free fatty acids mixture as the sole carbon and energy source, PHAMCL accumulation is en...
