- Abstract: A biodegradable polyester and a member of the polyhydroxyalkanoate family is polyhydroxy butyrate. It is stored as energy reserves by a variety of microbes, especially bacteria. When nutrients are scarce, bacteria can produce polyhydroxybutyrate, which acts as a store of carbon and energy. Polyhydroxy butyrate has drawn a lot of interest lately because of its potential to replace conventional polymers sustainably derived from petroleum. Those characteristics are in contrast to traditional plastics, which have a long environmental half life and can pollute the environment and destroy ecosystems over hundreds of years. Polyhydroxybutyrate has advantageous material qualities as being thermoplastic and is mouldable into a variety of forms when heated and possessing mechanical qualities that are on par with certain polymers derived from petroleum. Polyhydroxybutyrate may be used in a variety of applications, including consumer goods, medical devices, and packaging, and agricultural films, thanks to these qualities. Polyhydroxybutyrate is a biodegradable polymer that shows promise, but there are still obstacles to be solved, such as lowering manufacturing costs and enhancing material qualities on par with those of other plastics. However, many efforts are still being made to find strategies to maximise Polyhydroxybutyrate production and use, which will help advance sustainable materials across a range of sectors and one of such effort is to study the commercial viability of Bacillus cereus as potential candidate for Polyhydroxybutyrate production through whole genome sequencing. This study will give a road map on making the microbial Polyhydroxybutyrate production as commercially viable by using many tools like genetic engineering, metabolic engineering, pathways engineering, optimization etc.
