Syngas Fermentation for the Production of Bio-Based Polymers: A Review

Increasing environmental awareness among the general public and legislators has driven this modern era to seek alternatives to fossil-derived products such as fuel and plastics. Addressing environmental issues through bio-based products driven from microbial fermentation of synthetic gas (syngas) co...
