Figure 2

The relation between monomers production from PHB and NaOH treatment time. The fraction of two monomer products, hydroxybutyric acid (HB) and crotonic acid (CA) over total initial PHB (equations 3 and 4) are indicated by solid circle and empty diamond, respectively. The experiment was performed with fresh biomass at 0.2 M NaOH and 30°C in duplicate. Initial PHB content was 68%.
